You'll have to search for your own links but at a recent auction, a piece of his artwork self destructed shortly after being sold for over a million dollars - £860,000, in proper money.

Ha, ha. One in the eye for the more money than sense brigade although early rumours suggest it might now be worth more.

Fortunately, there are no impoverished people in the world who would have benefited from that cash being chucked their way.

Art is subjective Krem.

What I like about Banksy is his mystery. No-one knows who he really is. There are theories, but none have been proven.

He is a pacifist. He takes violent scenes and images and resurrects them.

My favourite piece of his:

Mystery makes him a good artist?

....and that's fine.

As I said....art is subjective.

What you may like, may not be my cup o tea at all.

Banksy is controversial....he sticks the middle finger at the prestigious art world.

I like him....a lot.

But people get famous for strange reasons today...
And a hat off to Banksy for making something big out of nothing...
Selling bricks for hundreds of thousands to people who buy them without being held at a gun point is amazing...

I think he sticks a middle finger at everyone who believes it's art...
But that's just old, silly me...

A shredder deliberately inserted in to the painting as a protest about ridiculous prices people pay.

thumbs up

There's speculation Banksy may have been at the art auction, himself, to activate the shredding.
