While I think he is usually hopelessly overestimated, this stunt he pulled I think is brilliant. I love it. Briliant way to comment on the distortions of the art market.

Ironically the picture looked like a scissor-type silhouette (Scherenschnitt) anyway.

To my mind there's no hope for some people... the "head of contemporary art, Europe" then asserted that the shredded picture was a piece of art in itself. The Emperor can do no wrong

My problem isn't with the artist so much as the crowd of sycophants who scramble after him, holding aloft any scraps or crumbs he may decide to drop

And right this he has revealed, I think, in a way that I can only applaude. He probably has forseen the reaction of the art crowd.

There is a German idiom: Jemanden den Kakao zu trinken geben, durch den man ihn zuvor gezogen hat. It means to make fun of somebody (jemanden durch den Kakao ziehen/to pull somebody through the kakao), and afterwards making him think it was no joke at his cost, but a serious, gallant compliment (ihm den Kakao zu trinken geben/giving him the kakao to drink). He has pulled the whole business thorugh the kakao, and afterwards made them drinking it with serious face expression. Going... going... gone!

Better a demasking of the incapable fool cannot be staged.

What do you call a guy with no arms and no legs hanging on a wall?


"Art".

Pure Genius. Love it.


From the article I read, the piece was made in 2006? (The mirror link you provided forced me to answer a survey after reading one paragraph, screw that. )


So how did he pull it off? 12 years is a long time to have that waiting....

More likely that Sotheby knew in advance, and cooperated with Banksy.

I think the whole thing is a sham. Notice it only half shredded the painting. That's deliberate as it leaves it a sell-able item instead of a pile of confetti. They probably don't even need to replace the frame. Just crank it back up in there and collect even more money for it.

I would disagree saying he's not an artists. Yes, it's vandalism, but it's still art. compared to a lot of the painted grafitti I've seen, it's rather pleasant to look at.

Art for our times.

A bit of "Classical nudity". I hope no one blushes.
