Anyway, the folks are happy.

A Banksy Painting 'Self-Destructed' Sold for $1.1Million, by irl1 on Oct 6, 2018 11:21:37 GMT 1, "I Can't Believe You Morons Actually Buy Thiss**t”. Bansky is above all a marketing genius and a fine satirical social commentator but yesterday he personally orchestrated his absolute masterpiece even against his own strongest British aficionados (a hardcore bunch of traders, galleries, collectors but above all ruthless speculators) known as Morons. Everything happened in less than 24 hours when first at Sotheby’s NYC were auctioned the “artistic” belongings of the late Robin Williams (another master of irony) featuring some Banskies including a Christ with shopping bags (hammered at US$ 80,000), a Heavy Weaponry (canvas) at US$ 110,000 and finally a large multiple of Happy Choppers (a large canvas multiple) at US$ 600,000. All these results were well below the expectations of the ruthless aficionados because you need to consider that a large “premium” on these hammer results comes from the added value that these art pieces once belong to the celebrity Robin Williams (see Sotheby’s David Bowie auction in November 2016). But yesterday evening in London the surreal comedy was fantastic where Banksy personally orchestrated the ultimate joke against all the morons. For some weeks ago his entourage leaked that the “Girl With The Balloon” unique canvas was going to break the limit of 1 million £, while few speculators hold their breath (and their other canvases) to see how to take the best advantage from this situation. Yesterday the art piece just break the 1 Million limit (much probably bought directly by somebody of the Banksy entourage, like Damien Hirst did with his well know diamond skull) and right after the hammer the piece magically auto-shredded resulting a big joke for all the morons. But in the very same auction (with a total sale of £33,865,900) Lucio Fontana, Alighiero Boetti and surprisingly even Kaws results really hit the UK£ million and Jenny Saville 1992 self-portrait “Propped” set an auction record for any artwork by a living female artist with £ 9.5 million ($ 12.4) at Sotheby’s. I am sure Banksy is still laughing now because after all "……a laughter will bury you all" (Michail Aleksandrovic Bakunin)
Not because its Banksy, but any stunt like this from "any artist" will always steal the show
