$1.3M Banksy Artwork “Self-Destructs” at Auction
I fucking love Banksy!! A real street artist in my book. I know he pulls some real shit but this one takes the cake.
A Banksy artwork “ self-destructed” at a Friday night Sotheby’s auction in London.
“Girl with a Balloon” (2006) was the final lot of the evening sale at Sotheby’s and ended things off with an impressive final price of £953,829 (~$1,251,423), or £1,042,000 with buyer’s premium (~$1,367,104). Maybe people should’ve suspected something was suspicious when the artwork sold for the exact same figure as the artist’s previous auction record in 2008.
