New Art by Banksy & Sotheby’s Performance

10 月 5 日,在苏富比拍卖的 Banksy 2006 年作品 Girl with balloon 在落锤后被作者本人设计的碎纸画框碎了一半。

整个作品被重新命名 Love is in the bin。

Banksy B. 1974 GIRL WITH BALLOON signed and dedicated on the reverse spray paint and acrylic on canvas, mounted on board, in artist’s frame 101 by 78 by 18 cm. 39 3/4 by 30 3/4 by 7 in. Executed in 2006, this work is unique.

作者 Banksy 在 Instagram 上 po 出了自带碎纸的画框制作小视频,并 quota 毕加索

“The urge to destroy is also a creative urge” – Picasso

原本约 1 百万英镑的拍卖成交价,在一波戏剧性的操作后作品将大幅增值。

虽说 Banksy 说拍卖行并无参与 – 但无论怎样,这已经不单单是一幅画作,整个戏剧性故事都离不开 Sotheby。根据苏富比的 blog,这是首次在拍卖中卖出了行为艺术 (it marked the first time a piece of live performance art had been sold at auction, read more here)。

这是 Banksy,Sotheby,买方,以及现场观众共同完成的艺术。

期待多年以后的 Love is in the bin 的拍卖。
