        Meanwhile, while a rich lady spends a million dollars on a single sheet of shredded paper, the world is going to shit right under her feet. It would seem like a million dollars would go a long way to helping science, social services, medical research, kids - something sane.

        Obviously a stunt... as it stopped half way, frame had a shredder in, FFS... Were Sotheby’s in on it? Suspect yes, but we’ll never know, as if they admit they weren’t, it makes them look both incompetent and uncool. #chapeau to @originaIbanksy

        Art is all@about provenance and this is the perfect story to build up “perceived market value” - bet you it doubles in 1 year.

        Speculation on future value is the reason. And continuous chatter and viewing. Likely s good buy ✅

        All of a sudden this became one of the most talked about paintings in the world. I think the buyer made the right decision (from a financial point of view).

        “The piece you just bought just became part of pop culture and could potentially even double in value as a result, do you want to keep it?”
