What was the point in this?

How shallow and pedantic.

Indupitably the debt,h of your invertep wisqom is Quite apparent.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Bansky. The art is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical aesthetics most of the brilliance will go over a typical art fan's head. There's also Bansky's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his paintings - his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these art works, to realize that they're not just genius- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Bansky truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Bansyk's existencial shreddig, which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Bansky's genius unfolds itself on their frames. What fools

>u r the dumb
Fuck off, artfag

so he could be sued for destruction of private property. the second it sold it changed ownership

I hope he is sued.
Fuck Banksy. Little nihilist commie fucker.

This, he was there to do it
It was all staged to further build up his reputation

Sold "As is". The shredder (and the act of shredding) were part of the item sold.
At least this would be my argument against a lawsuit.

I take it him saying "ever sold at auction" means people profiteering off work without him knowing or being given said money.

If so, good for him. Fuck the cunts that are stealing his work and profiting from it.

Publicity stunt, Banksy is more than happy to aution paintings for millions to his fellow rich far-leftist celebs like Brangelina.

I wouldn’t pay over a mil for a fucking graffiti, let alone shredded ones. If this is what the art community praises, we’re fucked

Derailing your capitalist auction with art.

fuck off trump hates you braindead brainlets

Banksy is just another leftist bourgeoisie nigger that draws the same stuff as a 12 years old kid that wants to rebel against his parents. His work is for the "im 12 yo and this is deep" crowd.

I'm saving this fresh pasta

Anyone who has ever been to an art museum knows there is a ward specifically where paintings are removed from their frames and inspected with detailed analysis being made of their condition and if they need anything done to protect them. It's obvious this device would be found during skid process, staged and obviously so from a doucher making money scamming rich douches who dont know that he is pretending to be original and anti establishment to make money off them

Another braindead libshit.

People like Banksy is why Pakistan will take Britain without a fight.

That would have needed at least a couple 18650 cells and the self discharge rate is like 5% per month, but you need enough juice to power the shredder so it couldn't have been more than a year old; unless there some extra long lasting high capacity cells that I'm unaware of

How the fuck does he get paid if he’s anonymous

Can someone give me a rundown of this? I don’t understand it at all like why would that nigga shred his painting?

Because he is one of those cringey artists who thinks that by destroying his work he is making a profound statement about materialism and how he is not to be sold and auctioned because some things just dont have a price and art like his is one of them

Some frames have built in lamps to light the painting. Maybe that's how he did it. Or the gallery was in on it.

What's worth more than an art piece by an activist artist? A piece done post-activism. Art evaluators have already valued the piece to be worth 50% more than it was bought at auction..

how pretentious do you have to be to do something like this? So proud of his shit artwork that he has to destroy it as a stunt. Concentrated vapid egoism on display. And the crowd loves it. Sickening

Banksy isn't real. Anyone can make stencil art.

You don't buy expensive art for the art. For the ultra rich jackasses who dump a fortune into obviously basic artwork its usually for 1 of 3 reasons:

>1. To Launder Money
>2. To Invest In An Artist's Hype
>3. To Flex/Increase Status

Banksy is a household name and his work will be worth millions in the future when he dies. Even this piece is still worth millions for the stunt involved. I'm not saying the paper or paint is worth it, but to people who literally have everything in the world they could ever want and millions still coming in every day, what else are they supposed to do with their money besides try to impress other rich people.

If you can't put yourself in the head of the shitlib just to understand their state of mind you're even more retarded than them m8

modern art isnt' art. modern art is narrative. you're paying for the story some merchant attached to the work, not the work itself.

Famefagging while pretend he is anti-famefag.

What a nice f u to the art crowd.
Can they get insurance fraud money now? Since the destruction of the piece was part of the art?
Banksy, nice job trolling the artfags if you read this small underground Japanese shrinkydink forum.

I think the finer point you're trying to make is; we live in a society.

Absolutely. (((Banksy))) is a fraud.

exacto blades are oriented in the wrong direction... fake and gay

No one trolled anyone. It's worth more now than ever and no one bats an eye at it. Everything is Art. The story behind the fag, the "dance" in which the work was made, the setting, the placement, it's destruction, that shitty graffiti as a symbol of street culture and resistence to the big man and lastly the shit it depicts. Break all these down ad infinitum.

That's Post Modernism, that's what's happening to our culture and systems.

>stealing
>implying artists "own" their works

To look like SO subversive and anti capitalist after having made million selling it and I bet the owner is really happy about it.

I suppose he's making a point that drooling idiots would pay double for his work if it was literally ripped it to shreds because it's somehow a powerful statement on the plasticity of the value of art or some other such contrived shit.

>my roommate banksy
>banksy
>I LIVE WITH BANKSY
Do you actually fall for this shit? Banksy was famous as hell even back in 2013 any faggot could be making this shit up for twatter god fuckin dammit I hate you nu/pol/ redditor retards

I agree. Shallow and pedantic.

>nigger hand
believable up until that point

>years ago
>batteries still last

Jesus you're a blabbermouth

Yeah also the fact that they would notice if the painting had an electrical plug hanging off it with a label that said
>please be sure to always plug this in even though this is a painting and doesn’t use electricity I wouldn’t worry about it :)))

I've always wondered if the guy that created this pasta actually thinks that Fathers and Sons is an epic. It's a rather short novel.

I should also mention that paintings especially the chaotic seemingly non sensical ones have deep occult meaning and power. Maybe the rich fucks know about it or they don't it doesn't really matter.

Behind these paintings is intention subconcioussly implimented by the deranged adtists probably connected to other realms and entities through his drug fueled mind and spirit.

This sounds pretty wild and crazy but these paintings habe real world influence on the people who look at it.

This is not art. It is novelty and it is social commentary. Banksy is an original, creative person. But he is not an artist. Art is based on universals like beauty.

Family guy is EPIC !!! LMAO

The act of shredding wasn't part of the artwork - it was the art.

Sothebys had to know that was going to happen. There is no way they didn't know the frame contained the shredder. Because it had to have been checked to make sure it was going to activate properly - no corroded terminals or dead batteries. If it didn't activate - then I suspect 'Banksy' would have temporarily withdrawn it from sale, or some such. Somebody had to throw the switch, but they had to know the mechanism was going to work.

Sothebys contacted the buyer and explained that it was part of the piece he'd just bought, and that it wasn't broken, and please don't sue them, because he bought the piece (the shredding of the print), exactly as 'Banksy' designed it to be appreciated.

Still clever, but not the total surprise everyone's claiming with not-very-straight faces.

What the hell is this?

the owner would be fucking happy, the value of that piece just tripled

Sounds reasonable

*look at it and sell it around the world.

Have a listen what Pollock had to say about his state of mind while drawing. He described getting into and frantic trance and he explicitly said that it's not about the 3 dimensional endresult set in space in time at an exact point but that the whole process, his dance was a what his art meant and represented. Basically escaping the limitation of time and place.

It's satanic shit desu. It's like a spell which is summoned ingrained in that mess.

yep
theres a reason why it stopped partially
if banksie really wanted to destroy it he would've set it to shred all the way
>b-but it jammed
stupid

sothebys was in on it as they knew it would generate "viral controversy millions of youtube views"...banksy knew his art was getting stale and lacking hype so he needed a new publicity stunt.

Headline quote reads like a clickbait youtube video's title

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You tremendous faggot

Do you remember when an artest canned his shit, labeled it “100% real artist shit” and people bought it? And is was in museums?
And this was in the 60s.
