A Banksy Painting 'Self-Destructed' Sold for $1.1Million, by Tobi187 on Feb 17, 2019 8:24:19 GMT 1, why does the bottom of the shredded canvas look like that, is it mould?
why does the bottom of the shredded canvas look like that, is it mould? I thought the same but its hard to figure this out. The museum staff had also no clue. |

why does the bottom of the shredded canvas look like that, is it mould? could be mold. maybe they tried to spray some sort of stiffening adhesive to the bottom so it hangs flat and doesn't blow around and all the dust in the air is sticking to it? |

The canvas is covered in lead paint so the weight of the canvas could fall through the shredder but it didn't work

All those folks who keep their beloved art in a Selwyns sleeve away from farting dogs and people breathing have been right all along.

Banksy (POW) did well selling it through Sothebys

A Banksy Painting 'Self-Destructed' Sold for $1.1Million, by ocean89 on Sept 18, 2023 22:38:17 GMT 1, I feel that I have to re-open this thread, as we all got more information at the GoMA about the item.
I am a big fan of Bansky, but there is absolutely no way the museum did not know about the mechanism.
I mean there were 2 (or 3?) gel batteries in it. And also all of the rest medal parts. The whole thing must be much more than a usual painting plus frame of this size. As they carry those items every day, the must notice it immediately. Also - if you watch the Beltracchi documentation, Sothebyโs do their own checks of artworks and frames buy putting them under special light and in x-rays.
Also these batteries loose most of its power after a year of not using them. Depending on how it got to the auction, it must have been waiting for years to become this unique piece.
So there are two options:
A) Sothebyโs know Bansky and got it straight from him so that they know itโs authentic (and maybe managed to work with him together)
B) Sothebyโs would check every Pigment of frame and artwork to make sure that the artwork is authentic - as specially a very often copied one.
What do you think?

And we love him for it, like the filthy whore dogs that we are, lapping desperately at his artistic teats.

It's a bit like David Copperfield making an elephant disappear and then later having a show at a Glasgow museum where he says, "Look at my big fucking mirrors".
