Banksy Artwork Shredded After Selling at Auction May Have Increased in Value

- Art connoisseurs could only watch in horror as an expensive piece was shredded before their eyes. No sooner did the gavel come down to mark the sale of Banksy's "Girl With Balloon" for a record $1.4 million, did the picture start to slip out of its frame into shreds below. The anonymous artist claims to be behind the stunt. He says he built the shredder into the painting's frame in case it ever sold at auction. InsideEdition.com's Mara Montalbano ( / maramontalbano ) has more. #InsideEdition
Painting: Shreds
Price: *Increases*
Banksy: You weren’t supposed to do that
Pretty sure it's intensional now. Die a hero or live long enough to become the villain.
Idiot, ya prank back fire on ya. So here's yolks in ya eyes sir
Well it didn't shred completely.
Stonk
He underestimated the stupidity of these artsy people lol
I bet he’s laughing at the stupidity and irony that the price went up 20 times after this stunt. Proving how stupid auctions can be
Probably a dodgy side hustle to make money disappear as quickly as possible.
@@skycloud4802 Yeah “write offs”
Ahhh? The value of art ist very dependent on how famous and celebrated it is… hardly anybody would have known this peace of art without the stunt. So it only makes sense that the price went up after being a very unique item. Imagine people in 600 years looking at „the old tech“ inside the frame😂
its the person trying to steal someone elses heart getting shredded
its part of it
Painting: *shreds*
Everyone: “NO OH NO!!”
The Artist: “It was me Haha!”
Everyone: “Brilliant. I’ll buy it for double.”
NANI ¡!
yeah, he should have burned it. the shredding make it more unique
Or he should shred it into a small pieces
Pretty funny 😂😂😂
@@ScarecrOmega nah prolly could still sell the ashes
I’m impressed that he was able to build a shredder into a picture frame years ago that kept its charge while being able to monitor for some sort of remote signal to begin shredding. I’d LOVE to know how all that actually worked!
My guess is that he pays the museum staff secretly to replace the batteries from time to time.
We don't have to guess - not many people know Banksy has a TH-cam channel, where he gave us a small glimpse into this stunt
Banksy (or someone who works for Banksy) is shown making the frame, getting some footage from the auction itself, and then using a remote to activate the shredder.

@@billowen3285 tbh I think that was the point
@@unnecessarilyepic1107 I mean he said every other time it worked, so..
How is it clever, it's just fitted into the frame what's clever about that lol
His artwork wasn't the painting, but the expression on everyone's faces when they saw it slowly being destroyed was his true artwork.

As others have pointed out, for a moment something so precious to you is gone is EXACTLY the feeling of the little girl losing her balloon 🎈. It means so much to her and probably nothing for others. Same with this piece of art. This is genius… just wow. No wonder it has way more value now.
Is she losing the balloon or is the balloon coming to her?
Wooow soo deeep
Yeah I think it just sold for 20 million bucks
It's not that deep, just pretentious.

The people: “I shall take it for 4 times the original cost”
Should have burned it
@@mr.banana2370 they gonna buy the atomic carbon ashes by addition of 69th the original price
It kind of makes sense.. the story behind the painting now has more value, and that transfers to the overall value of the piece.
Then why did the artist sell it for money?
😂😂😂 I read that in my head with a British accent
Seeing all these rich people freaking out it was so cool.
Tristan i’ll bet that’s exactly why he did it 😂😂😂😂
@@DarkComatose15 exactly!
It's now double its price though so it's a win win

@@greased4493 sure the piece of art is now more "original", because of this event, so the price high up a lot. Banksy is a genius.
This is literally the first time seeing something that is happening just in movies in real life.

Lol what??
Reminds me of that movie called Now you see me
This is the stupidest comment I’ve read in a while. How did it get so many likes?
@@PJ-io8pl dumb attracts dumb
The artist is an absolute hero. The art he made, he wanted it to be for everyone and not sold in an auction for ridiculous prices, so he pulled the best prank to prove his point. Such a legend
Did the auctioneers hold him at gunpoint and force him to sell the painting?
@Avi avi he didn't own the piece. He sold/gave it to someone personally, and eventually that person gave it to the auction to profit. This stuff happening is why he doesn't sell at all anymore.
it's so sad that the stunt just made it worth more too because people missed the whole meaning
I agree but ironically, the price went up to $21-23 million several years after this incident. Was this all part his/their plan?
@@SamLeaArt Doubtful, considering he doesn't get that money. The "owner" of it does, which is not him at this point. Considering how against capitalism in general he is, I doubt he'd be sitting around thinking of ways to make someone ELSE millions.
The fact that the artist made the people and the new owner feel what the girl that lost her balloon felt!
Damn, that's a great interpretation
Please finish your sentence.
If that was part of his intention he is an artist in more ways than just skill, even if he didn't like the other guy said, really cool interpretation.
🤯
I like your thinking

Modern art has become a very effective tool for money laundering. That's why we see garbage bins being sold with price of 50 000 dollars.
That was always true
the real art now is hent- i mean puppies
The artist did something incredible by sharing a important message.
Unfortunately said message fell on deaf ears.
Yeah quite sad
I don't understand the important message, what is it???
Is your profile picture a game character? 😂
U mean.. it fell on rich ears!
@@conejitorosada2326 The original piece is about hope so when it got shredded it’s like hope was non existent or gone
The feeling of buying something nice and seeing it destroyed is the true form of art. The on lookers all had different reactions, confusion, shock, suprise. What was felt in that room at that exact moment will never be felt more true. The act itself is art.
Bro I can reenact the same thing by destroying my cousin’s xbox. The act is the art my ass
Pretentious snob, shut up
@@starstorm1267 art isnt just fancy pictures
@@starstorm1267but you’re not an artists and you clearly don’t get the significance of an artist “destroying” their own work 3 seconds after it was auctioned off for an insane amount of money.
Thank you for proving that art is infected with moronic nihilism. Banksy isn't an artist, he is a carny.
I’m more shocked someone paid 1.4 million dollars for this painting.
Anything banksy touch is worth a pretty penny.
There is very little logic behind it. Same with religion, marriage and pineapple on pizza.
@Tea Fresch Wrong, wrong and wrong. So now what? Logic vs no logic, I wonder who takes the cake!
@Tea Fresch I understand you mocking them for disliking marriage and religion but the pizza is where I draw the line.
Ikr they’re all idiots
Well, props for the guy who spent years to pull off such a prank
Wasn’t a prank he just didn’t want anyone to make money off his work when he makes nothing
MADLAD _YT how did he know the painting would sell at an auction
Naomi Moore because it’s a good painting and banksy doesn’t want his work to be sold
African Souflet Oh
Well still, props
This is just one of dozens of painting of girl with a balloon. They've sold previously at auction. Despite what banksy says on Twitter I doubt this was set up years ago . Good chance the battery would have died in that time. This painting has been in the possession of the previous owner since 2006. The value of this piece has only increased as a result of this
The artist shredding his art: It's not about the money, it's about the message.
The painting going up in value: It's not about the money, it's about even more money.
Damn that's deep
Lol true tho
@@Casteray It's not deep. The first part is a misquoted line from a movie.
“It’s about the message” yeah no duh, the point of most art/performances is to convey a message - that doesn’t mean money doesn’t play a factor.
I don’t even know what the second point of this comment means. If it’s about “even more money” then it’s still about money?
How someone can call this deep is beyond me
@@PhilosophyofElivagar "the point" yeah no duh, it's a joke that was already dumb in the first place.
The humour in my comment was that 1. it was a reference to a movie (The Dark Knight), as was stated. 2. expectations were subverted by expecting something substantially grander than just "money", but instead it was just "even more money"
On an unrelated note, your name made me learn about Elivagar, so that's cool. How'd you come up with the name?
The fact that he never wanted it sold and higher powers do whatever they wanted with his art. Truly astonishing, and well done for him to implement such a protocol 💯
The protocol backfired, it sold 20x the auction listed price due to the unique frame and shredded picture.
You naive people really believe this Robin Hood artist narrative🤦♂️ oh geez the entire point of high art is to be in vogue with the wealthy. Of course the painting multiplied in value, as was his intention… it’s a one of a kind piece. Art snobs will pay millions for a jar of pee😂.
Made me think of "scorched earth policy" for some reason.
Banksy: destroys the painting to teach a life lesson.
People: ooooh! Art! Let's raise its price.
Banksy: listen here you little sh...
Your comment deserves more likes
Art people... -.-
Bruh moment
The fact that the piece only shaded half way might mean that the artist at some level expected and wanted that outcome where it's price went up
I honestly think it looks better half shredded and out of the frame like that
I both love and hate that it may have increased it's value
Maniac Magge I hate it because it goes against some of the exact points he tries to make.
@@BMarie774 Double confirmation of general capitalist weirdness IMO
@@BMarie774 I don't know if Banksy realized that his act would be considered an iconic piece of cultural history...this is now an infamous statement, and he's likely also elevated his notoriety, whether he intended to or not
Maniac Magge love your name

How do people not understand that the entire “fine art” world is for money laundering at this point

Makes sense. Hell everything else is a lie so this actually answers allot of questions when it comes to „art“ lol
Best purchase he ever made. That just went up to 5 mill the second it was shredded.

@Mochi Mochi really? Because most famous painters never seen a dime from their art most sell after the artist dies. And if you want to really get into it what about recording artists who don't own rights to their music or writers who don't own the rights to their movies. This is the real world and it happens all the time. And exactly like someone else said the artist had to have sold it for it for it to have gone to auction.

It's funny that the real clown was the people who actually bought the painting.
For people who don’t know, Bansky is a ANNONYMOUS artist. His AGE is about 40-50 (educatingly guessed). His rule was for his paintings to never be RESOLD, so he installed shredders into all of the frames he put his artwork in. So as soon as it was sold in auction, he triggered the shredder. Now, people STILL do not know who he is. But some say he must of been there to trigger it.
Doodle Reviews oh I thought it was a stupid trick
Damn hes smart af
Where did you find that rule? I thought it had something to do with the meaning of the picture, just as the girl is losing her balloon, the buyer is losing his painting.
He thinks he is some mastemind but he is just as stupid as the persone who paid 1.4 million dollars for just a painting.
How is he stupid? You know that he gets none of that money
Who’s here after the (G)I-DLE NXDE reference?

meeee
If the shredder was remote control operated, that means he was in the room... 👀 someone check the guest list 😶
they still won’t know plus even if they check the security camera it could be his friend also why not let him remain unknown? it makes him more legendary
I bet whoever took the photo for his instagram was him, if they looked at security footage to see who was taking a photo of the painting from that spot then they'd know
they should just allow them to remain anonymous
He could have hired somebody to do it
Bro he has power and influence he had a proxy or someone o his team there , a plant waiting fr the right moment then sold too risky to pop out like a normal person
It's like the artist is saying:
"If I can't have it, no one can!"
Hell yeah 😂😂
I want it, I think it looks better, adds more emotion to it like the kid letting go of the balloon, the shred says that everything doesn’t last forever

Props to Banksy, he doesn’t get any money when his art is sold for millions so he destroys it. as an artist it hurts to see your work go to waste but it’s better than other people getting paid for your work.
how did they get his painting in the first place tho?
That wasnt the point !
LMAO dude. Banksy get hundreds of thousands from his art. And this stunt just made him millions.
@Gamer 2.0 not unless a non auctioner bought it from him then sold it to an auctioner.
He’s a graffiti artist
He underestimated pretentious r rich people. Now they’re willing to pay more for it lmao
I don't think he did, its obvious if Banksy pulls off a stunt like this it will be publicized worldwide, it's clear the piece would be more valuable afterwards, one thing I would like to know is if it was supposed to shred the whole way.

Or he was thinking of the value of his work and publicity, although that's unlikely.

As asleep sheep often do, gloss over the fact that art is insurance scam fodder. Owning art is a means for hiding money laundering and shell profits.

He just made it more expensive xD
Gidle brought us here
Yes😂
Well, that seemed to have fell apart quite fast.
...to have fallen apart...
@@sainjawoof3506 yeah, I recognized my mistake re-reading this now.
Dude that has got to be the most satisfying laugh a person could get. Look at all their faces!
And the most unsatisfying disappointment after knowing it will be sold about 4x the price
@@getoutofmyhead373 Why dissapointed? Happy! You profited off idiots
Atleast this a lot better than the one with blue paint all over the canvas. Literally, just a blue paint. No tones, lines, objects nor anything on it. Sold like a thousands/millions. If I'm remember it correctly.
I have one that I will sell to you for $10k. Imagine how much money you will make re-selling it. Just send me the money!
It is the unique stroke that people buy the painting for. It is different from just a paper that has blue paint on it.
Wasn't that because of the unique color of the blue? The artist spent a lot of time making it the bluest blue they could.
Wasn't there a line in the middle?
Still better then the one with white paint. Literally just white paint all over the canvas costs idk some really big amount.
here after watched (G)IDLE 'NXDE' music video
Painting- goes up in value after being shredded.
Auctioner- sells painting again.
Banksy- *detonates bomb*
BREAKING: Ashes of banksy painting reach a record 100 million at auction.
Banksy didn't want his art to be sold so they got what they deserved
It increased the value of the painting
And you believe that.
Agree- his art is for the world!!! Any funds made off his art should be used towards what he would like them to be used for. Not some rich knob who wants to hold it in hiding and no one gets to enjoy it!
DarkLight Actually, he did claim the art and the shredding! “ Girl with a Balloon” wasn’t that different from the rest of the pieces auctioned. This spray painting from Banksy, an anonymous British graffiti artist, sold for $1.4 million dollars. An alarm sounded, and then the painting immediately started to shred itself.
The shredding and the shocked gasps of onlookers quickly went viral. Banksy soon addressed the affair, posting an Instagram video of him installing a shredder into the frame of the work in 2006 with the caption “The urge to destroy is also a creative urge’ -Picasso.” The artist was praised as a provocateur, unafraid to critique the excesses of the art market.”
It was actually one of his original prints of ballon girl that got shredded. He sells prints through a company and you can buy them online. But this one me was hand painted I think and was the only hand painted one I think.
*Blows up the whole place*
"Buy this place! A place where million and billionares stood before it crumpled to pieces. This is such an art, man!"
Niel Buchanan "this is art attack!"
This video was recommended by TH-cam for me after I watched (g)i-dle - Nude music video, and finally I get to know the referenced in their MV...😍
Same here
Banksy: *destroys painting*
Painting: *goes up in value*
Banksy: you weren’t supposed to do that
Task successfully failed
Banksy knew full well that the value would go up. who gets the money? Right, he. Why didn't he completely destroy the picture? Because he didn't want to destroy anything.
Banksy is overrated anyway
@@dessappy Absolutely!
Wait. That's illegal.
This is a genius idea.

Who comes here after watching idle’s nxde mv? 👋🏻
"Art connoisseurs could only watch in horror as-" 0:08 and then theres the guy recording and laughing
Probably banksy himself….
@@jonwages08 lol that's hardly proof. I'd wager there were more people laughing than just him
@@DreamBelief true, but it would’ve been cool had he posted of him in the auction showing live reactions and stuff.
WTH THIS GUY IS SUCH AN AWESOME DUDE OMGOSH THIS IS SO FUNNY WHAT A TROLL
Flaming_Gauntlet stop
This isn't really a troll its probably illegal
Ayden Well he is the owner of the painting so he could do whatever he wants to it
@@aydenchas3 how is it illegal when the one who built the shredder years ago was the artist himself?
Rovic Merginio because the painting was sold and was no longer his.
I love how she says he claims the whole time like it was some other person who actually did it.
Also he definitely knew it would make it worth more but he made a point.
it’s just a regular practice in journalism, it covers her ass in case she says any incorrect or misleading information
Banksy: What about...my shredder?
Plot twist:
He actually brought his own art piece so he could shred it and double its original value....
*bought
I mean it was pretty obvious that would happen. The painting now has an interesting back story and surprised people so now it has more value.
@@kami_dred7319 could* happen
Let’s give a round of applause to the creator of this piece he’s been patient
Imagine your art being so famous that you shred it in front of your admirers.
This reminds me of nxde by gidle they definitely got inspired by this
