    Whether anyone will pay for Banksy’s painting of a girl and a balloon, which began shredding itself moments after it sold at auction for $1.4 million, remains to be seen.http://nyer.cm/e5ja0Uy

        You do realise that this type of response: elitism and a lack of self awareness and humility, is exactly what Banksy is mocking?

        Are the 5% in power, controlling the art movement in NYC, wearing the blame for this scam,; inventing a ghost for a artist, that no one knows, or can divulge/ Banski... I am a real artist, although from far away Melbourne Australia. #dekraanart real art / real person / alive..

        The most functionally appropriate piece of modern art since Duchamp's "Fountain."

        Why wouldn’t they? Seems to be his most infamous work now made more valuable by its destruction. They immediately got their money’s worth and more. #Banksy

        They could probably sell each sliver individually if they wanted to. But piecing it together on a new canvas would be ideal, and will most likely sell for more.

        Of course they will. It's Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain" all over again.
