Or BSky had a shill bidder and it’s all a fraudulent publicity stunt.

Somebody has to make the stencil.
If I gave you a piece of cardboard, scissors and two cans of spray paint could you replicate it?

If you can you should start doing so. You’d make pretty good money. Somehow I doubt you can though.

Banksy is a genius marketer and self promoter. Bar none.

Banksy is an art troll.

I call B.S. It’s a stunt. It just magically self-destructed just a second after the sales gavel strikes? And how was that shredder powered? Built in batteries, or did they plug it in.

I’ve got some inside info.

His next work will catch fire and a fire extinguisher will come out and put out the fire.

I can’t tell about the one that has something to do with C-4.

"...where a painting spontaneously shredded, upon achieving a record for the artist..."

Bullchit!

No way this was "spontaneous".

Somebody was involved with the "artist" and "triggered" the "spontaneous shredding".

The guy is a street hack who has created a cult of personality similar to that of Andy Warhol. There’s no real talent there, just PT Barnum with a paint can.

It occurred to me that the original might be rolled up in the bottom of the frame and another sacrificial print went thru the shredder.

That would avoid the profits feeding the sharks in the ‘legal’ profession.
