Banksy - Gorilla in Mask Removed and Up for Auction, by Global Art Traders on Oct 21, 2020 15:02:59 GMT 1, Not sure if this has been discussed but just seen it on BBC News website. Another one 'reclaimed' by a company calling themselves 'Exposed Walls'

Anyways, my point being, that it is becoming glaringly obvious that we've reached the point where it is very easy for a commodity to cross the thin line into "art".
I think what I want to express might work best as an analogy.
political art:propaganda::commodity art:________
I personally would fill the blank with the word "collectables"
It's all just trading cards/collectables for the wealthy.

What a shoehorn sentence

I donโt buy this story. Or the reporter and/or their source donโt know much about tools. You wouldnโt use an angle grinder to cut out a squareish wall piece unless you have super human strength and grip or enjoy severe injuries.. You use a circular with masonry blade. Duh.
Devil is In the details.
