Okay so this time I perfectly know the meaning of this picture !
It has been taken by someone participating to the auction of Branksy’s works. This man is a famous but very mysterious street artist (in fact we don’t even know who is the person hiden behing this pseudonyme). This artist used to be the author of many graffitis dispersed all around the United Kingdom and now many of his works are saled at very very expensive prizes !
This picture dated from october the fifth shows a very famous Branksy’s work : « Girl with balloon » but here totally destroyed ! Effectively just after it had been saled 1,2 millions euros the canva self-destructed in front of the bemused assistance ! In fact Branksy had add a very ingenious mecanism inside the frame of the painting,able to cut and destroy the picture in many pieces and in few seconds.

Omg sorry for the big mistake: we don’t say saled but sold ! Branksy’s work has been SOLD 1,2 millions euros

Well done, Caroline !
You can all continue commenting on this pic anyway.
Do you know Banksy ? If not, go and find out ! What do you think of his coup ?

This picture shows an auction of a famous painting of Banksy recognized for street art. According to an article "The World", this painting would have been self-destroyed after a sales announcement attributed to more than 1.2 million euros by Sotheby's institute of art.
I find that strange on his part.

Hello! At the top left corner of the photo we can see a sign that says "Gallery" and at the bottom right corner - "Sotheby's". It is one of the biggest auction houses in the World. We also see a lot of people with suprised faces, a lot of them are on their phones. We can suppose that they are interested in buying the picture on the right. Let's move on to the picture: we can observe a person holding a red balloon in form of a heart. The heart is the only colored thing on the picture. A half of the picture is in the frame and the other one is shredded. This may be the reason why the participants of the auction are so suprised. We can't really tell more about this photo without doing some research, because we don't have any information about the author, the price and the future of this piece of art, but, here's what i found. This piece of art was created by Banksy and is titled "Girl With a Balloon". Banksy added a shredder into the frame and destroyed the picture just after it has been sold for $ 1.4 million. There could be a lot of reasons why he would do that, but I think that he destroyed it because he thinks that art should be free. It could also be a way to protest against the auctions.

Good job, Caro, but it's Banksy, nor Branksy ;)

This photo represents the auction of the famous street artist Bansky.
His particuliarity is that he never shows his face, he wants to remain in anonymity.

During this auction, Banksy set up a way to self-destruct his drawing "Little Girl Balloon" he made in London in 2002, after being sold at 1,2 millions euros.

I love this artist, I went to see his exhibition in Amsterdam two years ago. I find that his art is very interesting, he seeks to convey messages while remaining in humor, poetry and politics. He is inspired by Andy Warhol with pop art, Banksy uses the stencil technique to achieve his street art. I have a sweater with his drawing "Rage, the Flower thrower", which is a message of peace drawn in the streets of Jerusalem.
It's my favorite sweater :)

I find it a pity that it is destroyed this drawing but it corresponds to his character!

Hello,we can see in this picture people who are looking at a famous paint by Banksy, a british artist. They seem speechless in front of this masterpiece so I think that it is a bid. The painting for sale represents a girl holding a heart-shaped balloon. The montage on the canvas makes this paint even different and beautiful.

Hi! I don’t think I would’ve recognized what this picture shows us but I certainly have heard about what happened durin’ the auctions . It’s one of Banksy’s well known artwork which was exposed at the Sotheby’s auctions on last Friday. Indeed, lots of journalists have written about this event because right after its purchase (more than 1.000.000€), the drawing has been self destructed ! What a shock for the people in the room of the scene !

On this picture, we can see people watching a work of art. I did my researches and it’s an art from Banksy called « the little girl with the ballon ». At the bottom of the picture it’s write »sotheby’s » which is a platform for requests for estimates of work of art, it’s like an auction

Hello Miss,
Even if the meaning of the image has already been found, I can say that Banksy is an international artist who make essentially street art. Since some years, he became popular thanks to his work but especially thanks to his feature and his singularity. Indeed we call him Banksy but we don't know at all who this person of British origin is. This artist has especially painted some artwork in Paris, like the one next to the Pompidou Center. A few weeks ago, one of his popular painting, "the little girl with the balloon" which was painted in 2002, was sold at auction. However, as we can see in the picture of the month, once sold, it was automatically destroyed! Subsequently, Banksy posted a video of him putting his mechanism inside of his canvas. Surprisingly, the canvas has taken a lot of value! Many questions may be asked, what message did Banksy wanted to pass at people? How did the accomplices escape from the media? How will the artist surprise us after this?
He probably meant that art had no price...

Hello,
The october picture describes an art work of Banksy which calls « The little girl with the balloon » realized in 2002. We can see that the work was introduced in a completely different context than its initial context which is none other than the wall of a London staircase. Indeed « The little girl with the balloon » is represented in a painting seems to be at the heart of an auction organized by Sotheby’s. It is subject to many looks of people telephoning, probably representatives of potential buyers. Only this public seems stunned face to the work by discovering the crusher hidden in the realization of Banksy. So all those people present at this sale of art work see the self-destruction of « The little girl with the balloon » estimated at more than one million euro.
