- Banksy's work the Girl with Balloon sold for a final total of just over £1m to an anonymous European woman.
Seconds after the hammer fell at Sotheby's on 6 October the artwork started to shred itself.
Pest Control, a firm acting on behalf of the elusive artist, renamed the piece Love is in the Bin.
Now a video called Shred the Love, the Director's cut, has been released by the artist which reveals the stunt did not go quite to plan.
The buyer has said she will keep the artwork as her "own piece of art history".

Good thing it didn’t work, otherwise all those single stripes would have a very high price
It's more poetic that it didn't work.
All the fear and despair in the world was shredded (girl) while leaving hope intact (balloon)
CountryandIrishFan - Damn, that's deep.
0:06 Ehh EEH!!
That man with the glasses though, elite hypersensitive bullshit, as if it scared the shit out of him.
Greenpoloboy3 sounds like a peacock 😂😂😂
XD
It probably has more meaning and value with it half working than it ever would if it did or didnt
I will name my next piece 'Banksy's Greed'
0:08 Lady should have gone to specsavers
LOL
well she should have :P
well the jokes on him now its even more valuable than what it sold for lol ART? WTF?
The joke's not on him! It was obviously a publicity stunt hahaha The higher value is simply the natural consequence of a good planned trick
The ironic thing here is the artist did the shredding trick cause he was against the idea of art being so valuable, but in turn it just made the piece more valuable :/
plot twist: banksy bought his own painting back at 860k thru someone else, shredded it immediately to prove a point about auctions, 4x his investment and gets a good laugh while increasing his fame... genius.
The paint may have been too thick and perhaps the blades dull from practice. Just a thought.
The artist could have given me the money or to charity if he didn't need it. I could have paid my tuition fees in college.
It's amazing what passes for art nowadays
Your comment just shows your ignorance to its historical relevance, nothing more.
ShadeyBladey - check out the movie 'Exit through the gift shop' because it takes a whole movie to explain. Banksy was a political activist.
ShadeyBladey - you're in luck, they have the entire documentary for free here on CZcams: czcams.com/video/evbHCAn4jto/video.html
@Brianna you like 12 no matter how lazy anyone is they still think dumby
Blame the battery
defiantly should have used lithium ion. :D
That didn't happen with the hardware I saw installed. The blades are the wrong direction to cut paper. The bottom of the paper was rounded meaning it must have been rolled in a device. What triggered it?
I have that pic photographed but I didn’t know it’s his work
Banksy planned all of this. You know that right?
with all this machine inside, frame weighs 30kg!
And nobody checked why the picture frame weighs so much ?! Weird...
just make it up as you go along - even Banksy doesn't weigh 30 kgs
Kinda easy, different wood have different density. East Indian Rosewood vs Jelutong; that is twice the density in rosewood.
install solar panel next time
Why didn't Banksy take the money and give it to charity?!?!
The shredder musta been "man I ain't doin' it"...
This pic is now worth much more.
thats called awesome artist !!
Some people with have way more money than they have sense. Probably pocket change to her.
The media never lies ,right!
It jammed?
Should of used Duracell battery
Nothing different happened?
Did they even press anything to trigger the shredder?
Ray Mak yes the shredder was remote control conspires lead to he had to be in the room to trigger it
So what actually happened, did someone pay 800k for this art? Doesn't that mean he/she was scammed and what banksy did was illegal? Is he going to prison or what?
you are stupid af.
He only upped its value by who knows what factor!
I don’t understand this AT ALL someone please explain this...in depth...
Random Random Banksy (the artist) created a built in paper shredder inside the frame of his painting before auctioning it.. after auctioning it he clicked a button so the painting will shred.. its a publicity stunt.. he pretty much gambled.. either it wuda went down in value or up up up in value.. its an artistic touch or creative move that no one has come up with before.. the painting was supposed to shred the entire way down but to his luck it only went half way which made it even more meaningful to most people.. the buyer decided hes still going in with the purchase to the painting and it is one of the most talked about painting in the world at the moment
Kay J oh! Thanks for clarifying- either way though I’ve never understood the hype around art.
Kay J Hey isn't that illegal though? Once someone buys something at an auction it's theirs, so wasn't he destroying the property of someone else? I really really don't understand. I'm guessing he set up actors at the auction to buy it.
I’ll take a million please.

I wonder what he’ll destroy next?
From an interpretive stand point, because the entire piece did not shred as rehearsed, the meaning behind the art is even more powerful, inspiring and transcendent than originally conveyed.
Pre-shred: the wind, a powerful yet spontaneous Earthy force, drives the balloon representing love, hope, and idealism spontaneously from the unsuspecting innocent girls hand.
Post-shred: love, innocence, idealim and hopefulness are not yet lost or destroyed. The shred destroyed the element of the wind thereby suggesting that the viewer can no longer decide if the balloon is coming or going. Since helium tends to defy gravity, the element of gravity cannot act as an implied force on the balloon.
Maybe subconsciously the artist still wants to believe in goodness as much as he has experienced destruction.
The little girl's innocence, hopefulness, and idealism along with love (balloon) were left intact.
So, even in the face of powerful destructive worldly elemental forces - hopefulness innocence idealism and love can prevail due to I and unintelligible forces.
Sometimes it is a good thing when "the best laid plans" don't work out. How thrilling!
Secondly, if the viewer perceives that the girl was a complete victim of powerful worldly unstoppable elemental forces - despite her destruction, love hope innocence and idealism remain unmarred by those forces and continue on without the girl because they too are indestructible powerful worldly and Elemental forces..

If he really wanted to ruin it. I think having paint go off will work better than shredding it.
Graffiti a Criminal Offence? Yes, graffiti is regarded as criminal damage and a prosecution maybe brought under section 1 of the criminal act 1971.
"artist"
John Msx Also a stick figure holding baloon sold for £1 million. Sad. And the saddest part is, the price went up by factor of 2 or 3(cant remember)
A collector literally paid for sealed shit in a can from 1961. 275,000 euros one can sold for. High art has been the domain of pretentious weirdos for a while now.
sure - we can take your art critique seriously because of your prolific art career. The guy is revered as a street artist. Somehow I think you're missing a braincell or two.
What's so good about it then other than the obvious?
You clearly don't know the historical relevance. Nice job showing us your stupidity.
He could shit in a box and it would sell for a million.
No shit
It’s like a cat playing with a mouse before it kills it just because it can..
If you want to do something truly profound and make a statement..instead of shredding an incredibly valuable piece of art..just put the money you don’t want directly into my personal banksy account.. I mean..hello elite.. I’m here.
L
i actually don't care.
Why do people pay for such ugly pictures??
he's so mysterious 😍
😂👍
What makes me chuckle is that you all think banksy is one person.
Banksy is the Apple of rebels, a socialist jester for silver spoons. He should collaborate with Supreme and sell #resistance bricks for $10000. Jokes aside, I'm sure he didn't create Banksy with that intention, but in the end of the day, it's all about brand identity and money.
Art? I have toilet paper that is more interesting than this crap
At best Mr.Banksy is an editorial cartoonist .Not much of an artist with his kitsch images of little girls with heart shaped balloons.At worst Mr.Banksy is a propagandist. And propaganda is the enemy of art.
Where's that elmer's glue stick?
Did you know that God loves you very much? He created you to love and for you to love him. He wants you to spend eternity in Heaven with Him. That is why he sent His Son Jesus Christ to save you. Jesus paid your sin debt by willingly dieing in our place. Now that is true love! Jesus is alive...He conquered death and he is coming back very soon. Please receive Jesus Christ as your Savior today...He is the one & only Way to Heaven.
1) Romans 3:23 For ALL have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.
2) Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the GIFT OF GOD is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
3) 2 Corinthians 5:21 For God made Jesus Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.
4) Romans 5:8 But God demonstrates hisown love for us in this: WHILE WE WERE STILL SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US.
5) 1 Corinthians 15:2-4 By this GOSPEL YOU ARE SAVED... that Christ died for our sins... that he was buried, and that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.
👉 Go to Jesus Christ with a sincere & humble heart 💗
Repent of your old life away from God, admit that you are a sinner (We ALL are), acknowledge that Jesus Christ is the son of God who came in the flesh and willingly died on that cross to remove your sins, that he rose in victory 3 days later. Ask Him into your life today - because none of us know if tomorrow will be available for any of us to do so. Ask Jesus to be your Savior and the Lord of your life.
Shut the fuck up
Fuck off
