so what, in effect Banksy chose to shred 1.3M$? I understand he has a message etc, just curious if he really sacrificed so much for it



Banksy will get his money, but his artwork is now probably worth much more. So it is debatable if he succeeded with his intentions to criticise the commercialisation of art.


There is zero chance that he did not anticipate this.


“You could argue that the work is now more valuable,” Branczik said.
