Shredded Banksy artwork sells for $25.4 million at auction


LONDON (AP) — A work by British street artist Banksy that sensationally self-shredded just after it sold at auction three years ago fetched almost 18.6 million pounds ($25.4 million) on Thursday — a record for the artist, and close to 20 times its pre-shredded price.

“Love is in the Bin” was offered by Sotheby’s in London, with a presale estimate of 4 million pounds to 6 million pounds ($5.5 million to $8.2 million).

After a 10-minute bidding war involving nine bidders in the saleroom, online and by phone, it sold for three times the high estimate to an undisclosed buyer. The sale price of 18,582,000 pounds ($25,383,941) includes an auction-house fee known as a buyer’s premium.

The piece consists of a half-shredded canvas in an ornate frame bearing a spray-painted image of a girl reaching for a heart-shaped red balloon.

When it last sold at Sotheby’s in October 2018, the piece was known as “Girl With Balloon.” Just as an anonymous female European buyer made the winning bid — for 1 million pounds ($1.4 million) — a hidden shredder embedded in the frame by Banksy whirred to life, leaving half the canvas hanging from the frame in strips.

Robert Del Naja of Massive Attack is Banksy.
 Quoting: 4strikes



Possibly.

All someone has to do is a voice analysis match between an interview with him vs an interview with a masked man claiming to be Banksy at his first major art installation.

If it matches, that greatly improves the odds.

You can compare the top face/ eyes too.

Hasn’t anyone?

It is more involved than money laundering.

In the nutshell:

Group of wealthy (not rich, but wealthy) people in the known don’t want to be dependable on fiat and all the BS around us, especially now. Precious metals are to heavy, same with diamonds.

They all decided to create separate store of value system independent from banksters, something based on physical properties backed by certain rules. They use "art" as a mechanism to move large values. Why art? Because it is fairly easy to authenticate and impossible to forge.

If group of people here would decide that blank piece of paper is worth 100$ and they would keep the ledger of who owns the paper and how much, we all would have separate economy. But we are to dumb/greedy and not wealthy enough to honor the system.

If you wanted to sell a bunch of drugs or whatever and make it look legit - make it look like an art purchase so you can claim the money and pay taxes on it so you don't raise suspicion.
