A stencil spray painting by elusive artist Banksy shredded itself after it was sold for more than £1m.
The framed Girl With Balloon, one of the artist's best known works, was auctioned by Sotheby's in London.
The piece which shows a girl reaching towards a heart-shaped balloon was the final work sold at the auction.
However, moments after the piece went under the hammer, the canvas passed through a shredder that was hidden inside the frame.
Well played sir!! Is banksy really 3D from massive attack? Banksy works always appear in cities massive attack have just played....

More than likely a PR stunt ... but would love to have seen the look on the gathered art ponces as it occurred

The collective known as KLF (to some) have been doing this stuff for some time.
remember the .... ahem ..... £1m thing, and the 'opening fire' with machine guns on the crowd.
And, in all honesty, real artists (as Banksy is) have been pulling off this sort of high profile 'art terrorism' for centuries.
Never forget, we are all made from stardust and will return to being stardust.
Every cultural artefact from the Pyramid at Giza to the latest toon by Guetta (and before and after) are mere vanity projects.

Just happen to know lots of writers.
And lots of people in music industry who party with Banksy in Cuba.
Doubtless will see him at Glasters and on the circuit soon

Banksy buffed my mate’s piece under the canal in Camden. Caused a lot of division in Graf community
