For an artist that’s known for his stunts, this could be Banksy’s most perfect art world prank.<\/h4>\n

The iconic image of a girl reaching out for a red, heart-shaped balloon, sold for $1.4 million and moments later, a shredder hidden inside the “artist’s frame” started its work, according to a\u00a0news release from Sotheby’s\u00a0and the art “self-destructed.”<\/p>\n

Banksy summed up the stunt with this quote on his Instagram account – “Going, going, gone…” and a posted picture showed stunned onlookers as the shredded art emerges from the bottom of the frame.<\/p>\n

“It appears we just got Banksy-ed,” Alex Branczik, Sotheby’s senior director of contemporary art, said in the news release.<\/p>\n

There’s no word on how the shredder started operating at the key moment after the auction, though it could have been activated by a remote mechanism.<\/p>\n

The auction price of $1.4 million for the spray paint and acrylic on canvas Girl with Balloon tied the artist’s previous record set in 2008.<\/p>\n
