It stopped half way, to me it is more 'art' than before.

  I’m not clear on whether it stopped or was stopped?

  Yeah whoever bought that has probably made a profit already, its a lot more interesting now.

    whoever bought it also payed the same exact price as Banksy’s all-time auction record set 10 years ago, down to the pound.

Has anyone been able to find video of the shredding happen? Finding videos on youtube is such a crapshoot nowadays with people uploading/copying the same videos or some lame commentary over static images.

    How many people were involved in the recording of that video? Who did the editing? What a publicity stunt...

  There is a clip on a Instagram "Banksy" account: https://www.instagram.com/banksy/ https://www.instagram.com/banksy/ I would like to know the details on how he pulled it off, I refuse to believe the auction house was unaware of the stunt.
