The sale of a Banksy painting for $1.4 million, the highest-ever paid for the British street artist’s solo work, was the perfect finale for Sotheby’s successful “Frieze Week” evening contemporary art auction on October 5, 2018. But before the auctioneers had time to celebrate, an alarm sounded and then, to everyone’s dismay, the artwork began to self-shred while sliding down the frame.

                Okay, Bansky is a street artist and his pieces are either sold or just copied in general. So to take back whats his, he hidden a shredder in the art and boom. Thats is why good sir

                That's cool but bad if someone actually bought it.
