Banksy Painting Sells For Over $1 000 000 And Immediately Self Destructs

The enigmatic street artist known as Banksy is known for his mysterious tricks and artworks. He has steadily been getting a higher and higher profile. He frequently paints red balloons in the shape of a heart.

At an auction in London one of his pieces sold for over a million pounds. Immediately afterward a remote controlled shredder hidden in the frame shredded the artwork into thin ribbons.

The funny part is that people are having trouble deciding if the buyer should be refunded of whether the work has now gone up in value due to the stunt.

The photographs were taken by a man named Robert Casterline.
