Lol I take it they used eBay as a guide for price [emoji15]

I guess everything sold is all about perceived value - modern art is the most bonkers example!

Here is an EM that sold for £15000.

Or how about 43 million dollars for a blue blob?

I read today that it was supposed to shred to entire thing, and that all his prototypes worked flawlessly. And now, because it wasn't completely destroyed and is still hangable it's now worth so much more.

Crazy art scene.

I wish i could sell my shreddings for that sort of money!!

If I had been the bidder not that I have a million quid to throw about but if I did I would continue with the purchase as that has to be one of the greatest stunts ever played upon the art world from
One of the most talked about and collected artists ever , you would have to be living under a rock of Salford to not know who Banksy is ... the value of that piece I would imagine is probably doubled now. That was fricking amazing
