- It doesn't matter how many times you've seen it, watching the Banksy artwork getting partly shredded last week, after it went under the hammer at Sotherby's never gets dull. And now, in a further twist, the artist has confirmed that the shredding didn't go entirely to plan. But could it make his work even more valuable. Here's Emma North.
I love the way he holds the soldering iron at 00:15
He is a definitely a Pro with heat resistant hands.
It's a fake video. EEvblog talks about how it was actually done.
As an electrician, that makes me cringe a lot.

I did once take hold of a soldering iron tip to guide it into place.
Not for very long though. :-)
@@grahvis I still remember my first high school practice and a teacher saying "Don't, for the love of God, ever touch the metal part of the soldering iron." At that same moment I was screaming in pain :DD
@@pekostv8124 😂 ik heb je niet gehoord , hangt anders wel een bel , ook aan de voorkant 😂
The ultimate example of 'performance art'
The “art critic” added nothing to the video
Except for her expertise
My interpretation: you shouldn't put value on things. They're just things. Ironically, it probably increased value.
Not probably, it 100% did. The shredded painting sold a few years ago for over $25 million.
That's the (f)art world for you....
Love how most the people right next to the painting weren't even looking at it
Och en ach is altijd in trek met leedvermaak altijd nieuwsgierig op vinken-touw 😅
I am certain Sotheby’s had something to do with it! I mean they must at least have examined it once! It’s very hard to believe it!!!
I don’t know if it is wise to sell these paintings tbh, it’s part of history now and seeing them in a private collection where 99.9999% of the world will never see, it’s just sad. Lost in the archive of some billionaire :(
Nope. Sotheby's had nothing to do with this.
There is no way the most reputable auction house in the world would risk their reputation over one banksy.
Honest to got this cheered me up more than anything recently 😁
The art world is full of pretentious sheep, who’re not actually interested in art, only the trending financial investment aspect; rich social status meaningless protocol.
If art was financially and provenance worthless, what would you hang on your wall?
No no it perfectly when to plan
Does anyone really believe the artist didn’t plan this to happen just the way it did ?
I think it would have been even funnier if it had completely shredded. Then it couldn’t even have been preserved as a “sculpture” without scooping up all the strips into a big clump.
We'll never know. Planned or serendipitous, the intent is brilliant.
It is not sculpture!! Certainly this is design around publicity
We don't know who paint this and we keep saying is him!! But how do you know? How about team of 20 people working on every single piece of art you see on street. How does that make it unique in any shape or form if you never seen how it is created nor seen the person behind it, nor you have any idea of anything about the team itself. So you dealing with the company not one person. I believe it when I see it painted specially if artist is still alive.
This type of discussion is exactly why I love Banksy. Scam? Art? Inciting anger and/or excitement? To me, Banksy is a performance artist and master class troll. He's earned every cent just for entertainment value.
Ooooooooh a shredder. Wow, what an event.
Glad you didn't have to duck for it go over you're head.
So who pushed the button to start the sequence
That’s what I’m thinking
Supposedly Banksy was there in the audience and pushed the button himself, and of course no one recognized him
@@pyramidcrate Agreed. Exactly why *Clark* *Kent* wore glasses at the office.
Completely hilarious statement frim banksy and totally making these rich toffs look like the fools they are, the art is not for them to own and show off to their mates for status... im glad he did it and I laughed my ass off, it still tickles me to this day, thank you Banksy.
It would’ve been better if it shred all the way. Then it wouldn’t be a “sculpture” anymore. I’m still with you though, I find it pretty hilarious. It just annoys me how the art world then turned it into something worth even more.
Imagine explaining the message behind it to someone though. “Oh yeah so this is supposed to mock how people will spend millions on a piece of art. I paid 20 million for it.”
Jealous much?
EEvblog talks about how he made it and the BBC still gets it wrong.
Work of art, what a load of tosh^^
It's annoying that she filtered herself at 00:41 because it was so obvious that she wanted to say "people who have possession of means of production', bad form comrade
I think you're giving too much credit to a guy who shredded his own work
he shredded it cz they didnt have permission to sell it
I disagree. Bansky knows exactly the value of this peice of art - all of is others: nothing. Why? They are all made from stencils. Location and the statement is what matters, not the material art itself. The fact he made multiple videos of shredding the exact same piece then put it up for auction to have it shredded again can lead to many interpretations. "I can make 50 of these in a day, sign them, and devalue ehatever that sop paid for it at auction" or "By shredding this one, you're buying something I consider worthless because it's now out of context, but congrats on the one of a kind piece." or "I'm doing this now, but if I put another piece up for auction, will it self-destruct or do something worse to the other peice in the gallery - maybe set off a fire alarm? Point: My work is dangerous to sell and do it at oyur own risk."
The whole thing is a scam how could they not know the thing was so heavy
😂😂😂now it’s a sculpture 😂
Thumbs up if you've stopped paying your TV licence!
The auction house knew the shredder was in the frame and knew it would be good publicity
If they didn't, that's a security issue. The thickness was big enough for an effective pipe bomb.
@@robertnicholls9917 based bansky bombing auctions 😂
Shame that, was a nice picture.
Ahahah this is hilarious.
Who is this Banksy?.
Graffiti a Criminal Offence? Yes, graffiti is regarded as criminal damage and a prosecution maybe brought under section 1 of the criminal act 1971.
I thought the end was funny when the paper shredded no one expected that.. lol
Nah. It's Leonardo Dicaprio. Follow the clues 🐾
this lady doesn't 'get it'
OK, this is the second video I've watched about the shredding and both are a bunch of stupid blah, blah, blah! What made the shredding begin? Was it activated by the sound of the gavel? By a remote control? What made it stop? why did the auction employees do nothing to stop the shredding by holding the canvas in place at the bottom? why did they begin to carry it off? Who bought the painting? How do they feel? What is the estimated worth now? So many questions, so much blah, blah...
It sold later for 16 million so it actually improved the value
Why didn't the auction house realise this piece of artwork weighed so much? I personally like Banksy's artwork but hate all the bs discussions about it.
Initially, "secret of heart" is even never mystery... went Gothenburg museum?
Plus, Luhterism dum dum by Michael Jackson, mouldfully.
Swedish history...They dull tell all.
just ditch ever Blackskin and China.
Why do people care about these people ?? Just bollocks
We don't know who banksy is so this is just so stupid. How can someone take credit for their work when they're anonymous?
Fake
