I don't know if you mean specifically Banksy work, but there's a whole discipline of auto-destructive art: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-destructive_art https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-destructive_art
A well known example is the poem Agrippa by William Gibson (yes, that one) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agrippa_(A_Book_of_the_Dead) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agrippa_(A_Book_of_the_Dead)
- jansan 8y agoDid not know this, thanks. Maybe we can agree that Bansky's auto-destructive artwork is the one with the best publicity.
- beaconstudios 8y agooh, for sure.
- Joeboy 8y agoAuto-destructive art is kind of misnamed though, I think. It's generally art created through destructive acts, rather than art that destroys itself.
