Banksy, an England-based Artist, shred one of his most famous works of art as soon as it was SOLD at an auction!

“A work by the elusive street artist self-destructed in front of startled auction-goers on Saturday (NZT), moments after being sold for 1.04 million pounds (NZ$1.8 million)…..Then, as an alarm sounded, it ran through a shredder embedded in the frame, leaving half the canvas hanging from the bottom in strips.“

Can you imagine spending $1.8 million for a piece of art, then watch it shred before your eyes? Well, that’s pretty much what happened here! They are now saying because of the event, the painting may now be worth more. It has even become a hit this Halloween season, check out a few of the costumes below!
