Banksy work shreds when gavel falls

quote:

“[It] sold for over a million dollars and as we sat there…the painting started moving,” he said, and added that the painting’s frame, also made by Banksy, acted as a shredder and started to cut the canvas into strips.


quote:

“You could argue that the work is now more valuable,” Branczik said. “It’s certainly the first piece to be spontaneously shredded as an auction ends.”

Banksy must be having a good laugh over this. Anything he does is lauded.

A good lawyer will argue that was fraud and finally put banksy behind bars.

I'd be getting my money back or a huge chunk of the artist's arse or both.
