Banksy’s Girl With Balloon painting at Sotheby's auction (Photo Credit: Sothebys.com)

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.

                      I guess when you have the money you'll buy expensive things.

                    banksy is a great artist, and clearly stated that he did not want anybody to auction it off. people calling him mean need to think about what they would do if their painting that they didn't want auctioned got auctioned off for tons of money.
