Banksy is the most famous street artist and has a noted disdain for the Art Establishment. Whenever his works show up at auction, they are a rare prize. This one sold for a record amount but at the final gavel, it started to vibrate and move.
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. “[It was] all out confusion then complete excitement,” he explained.
Most speculators assume Banksy himself started the shredding and was likely also the winning bidder. Via Hyperalergic(https://hyperallergic.com/464419/1-3m-banksy-artwork-self-destructs-at-auction/).
