'I secretly built a shredder into a painting': Banksy reveals how he installed self-destruct device inside his most famous work YEARS ago to activate if it ever sold at auction


https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/articl ... S-ago.html



Battery powered and yet after all those years the batteries still worked remotely? And Sotheby's never seen this even though it would have been expertly checked?

It's a stunt, nothing more, nothing less.



Yes we know.. keep up :Hiya:



But I am keeping up. I'm not the one who believed he inserted the shredder when he mounted the portrait... :roll:


He posted the vid on Instagram and deleted it after it's runtime. As an art installation it's doing exactly what it should do, promoting debate and discussion about art among people who rarely appreciate it which has been the basis for his street stuff since the beginning. The twat's happily coining it in and for this sort of thing he's worth every penny!

Funny old world...

I have got a wonderful painting of some dogs playing poker. I think it may be an original :yess:

This is the first self-destructing artwork which in itself is unique and therefore it has actually ascended from a mere visual expression and is regarded both as itself and its form after destruction, got to be worth a lot more than was originally paid.

This guy hates the art world.


He fucking loves the money though, D.Hirst must be chewing his cheeks out wondering what next to pickle :mrgreen:

The Swiss sculptor Jean Tinguely created some self-destructing artworks in the nineteen-sixties.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Tinguely

There's not much that hasn't already been done, tbh, after Picasso, Duchamp, DADA, conceptual art, pop art, performance art, and several more decades of artists finding ever more extreme ways to be 'subversive'.

Banksy can be very witty though, in an art-director kind of way - usually a definite clear idea which you understand and get very quickly, like with a joke.
