They now think the shredded sketch may be worth even more now!

I think it's more effective that it didn't shred all the way through because it still remains a permanent piece. Had it fully shred, the buyer could easily have pieced the strips together and put in a new frame. I suppose they still could do that, but it would require disassembling the current frame & built-in shredder.

I actually feel like it only shredding 2/3 of the way was effective... maybe even better than the whole thing. Not such a bad failure, lol. But I guess if I were Banksy I'd be kind of frustrated if my plan hadn't worked out the way I expected.oftenreading said:"In rehearsal it worked every time"

Curiously, the canvas didn’t make it all the way through the shredder — did it jam, or was that intentional? By leaving about 1/3 of the print in the frame, the shredded bits are left attached and dangling… thus preventing them from splitting the pile of shreds into 50 more auctions with everyone vying for a slice.HesCalledDyer said:I think it's more effective that it didn't shred all the way through because it still remains a permanent piece.

That thing is going to go back up for auction in its half-shredded state and sell for at least ten times as much as it got. Because Banksy is the one who shredded it. It's a one of a kind. And considering I've seen a blue square painting go for $44M (it's a goddamn blue square!!!) that will easily fetch over $10MBe Excellent To Each OtherParty On, Dudes!0

Yep, no doubt. It’s gonna be one of those historical moments we talk about for a long time.Star Lake 00 / Pittsburgh 03 / State College 03 / Bristow 03 / Cleveland 06 / Camden II 06 / DC 08 / Pittsburgh 13 / Baltimore 13 / Charlottesville 13 / Cincinnati 14 / St. Paul 14 / Hampton 16 / Wrigley I 16 / Wrigley II 16 / Baltimore 20 / Camden 22 / Baltimore 24 / Raleigh I 25 / Raleigh II 25 / Pittsburgh I 250

That's disgusting. Anyone who would do that is just a horrible, rotten piece of shit.23scidoo said:

I mean, it’s Banksy.

Notice a lot of other artists are using "Space suits" in their work as of late.0
