When you spend years in protecting your oil painting and it costs little amount of money... *WHILE A SHREDDED STENCIL PAINTING SELLS FOR 2 MILLION POUNDS* wow.
Over a million for a stenciled picture, shows how little a million means to the super rich!!! I like Banksy's art but it is just hugely overpriced graffiti with a good back story (that no one knows his identity) I think he's mocking the art world, in the fact that hardly any effort goes into his art but the prices are ridiculous!!! There's nothing wrong with your voice mate, but I notice that Americans are not fans of accents (unless it's an American accent) I've watched documentaries that have subtitles for well spoken English/Irish/Aussie/Kiwi/Welsh people. Even subtitles for accented Americans that I have no issue understanding (I'm English) But in my opinion you don't need to change your delivery, you speak perfectly.
@Rambonus Ravager you like accents, but on your programs usually need sub titles to understand. I've lost count of the number of documentaries or reality shows where as soon as someone has the vaguest accent up pop the subtitles. That and the untold roles that UK and Aussie actors have to put on a (usually terrible) fake American accent. Now I'm not saying all Americans can't understand accents, but if your TV companies are putting subs up all the time, it's gotta be a majority.
I’m American and I had NO problem with his delivery, and love accents. My favorite youtubers are Southern, Australian and British. Please don’t generalize.
@@TheFreshSpam you're one of those guys who pretends they see art aren't you? like one time when prankster placed some glasses on the floor, everyone took a photo of it and "saw meaning".

The people who go in these expensive art auctions couldn't care less about art. It's about showing off how much money they have to put into semi-worthless pieces of canvas, about showing off how much utterly worthless information about the artist's life they have in their empty heads, and about how they alone know how to create value in something to profit later. It can be anything, there is even one of these artists, if you can call that, that makes sculptures made of literal human excrement. Yes, really. EVERYTHING in there is about the buyer's ego. These are ego selling auctions for the stupid rich, who deep down know they are just their employees's leechers and don't deserve 0,0001% of their money. This one, however, I think there is even more. Banksy paints system-changing messages, in favor of those same employees. The old dinosaurs want to show off how the painter is wrong and ridiculous by raining money on it. A bit like a dark ages general wearing the skull of his enemies on his carriage. Again, they are buying their own egos.
As someone who has been to these sorts of events (born to successful parents) almost all the people there inherited there money or got it via dishonourable means, ie crime or borderline financial fraud. There are always a bunch of 20-30 year old women with their daddies or fathers credit card waving their money around for the sake of waving their money around. Someone with the intelligence to earn them selves that sort of wealth isnt buying a shit painting for a cool M.
Everything in life boils down to meaningless battles of psychology... So many instances of this consumer behavior and we just become the ping pong balls between the paddles.

Coming from someone who studied art history as well as took a class that was based around critical reviews and philosophy, I sort of feel like the message here was to talk about the value we give things, in this case art. Banksy obviously knew the value of the piece once it gained traction on it's own as street art and probably knew if he re-created the piece on canvas that the piece would gain the same amount of traction and raise in value. By doing this, if the piece were to ever be sold, he could create another meaning out of the piece. In a sense saying that "you gave a value to this piece because of the price, but what if it were destroyed, then what value would it have now?" Basically a message that sometimes we over value things simply because of the person or brand, but not the meaning as a whole. Maybe that's just what I see when I see him destroying his own work. It would be like if the Mona Lisa were destroyed or any famously well known art piece. What meaning would we give that destroyed piece? How would we feel seeing the piece destroyed? Would that change our feelings towards the piece?

That awkward moment when you try to make a statement about the art world and it backfires and ends up feeding into the same world you were trying to criticize lmaoo
“There is always hope”... painting gets halfway shredded... “hope is being destroyed...”. Kinda neat how it inadvertently took (to me) a whole new meaning.
Oh you're so clueless, yikes. Nowadays art could be a shitstain on a white canvas.. Banksy's art is different exactly because it isn't trying to be some weird abstract shit.
After sales service by the artist is almost unheard of in the art world. No wonder the work doubled in value, it had additional work done to it by the original artist and its meaning was increased.
**makes painting** Buyers: oh wow this is a piece of art! **shreds painting** Buyers: • 0 • Also buyers: **jumping over chairs trying to buy it for more**
I’m really terrible at drawing but i try and I’m proud of my hard work but when “artists” just draw an x they call it art?!!!! Art is something is understandable with someone really hard work not just idk what to say sorry for wasting ur time guys I wrote a lot and I’m just being so lazy to delete this
you can spend years painting on oil of the history of the world and it will be shit to some. art is so goddamm subjective its not even worth trying at this point
Why the doing that?(shredded to pieces) and i wonder why art pieces so expensive? even it can be draw on the street by professional artist could anyone help explain about art value ?
The message Banksy tried to transmit was how rich people spend millions in a useless piece of paper that could easily be destroyed, but it seems they didn't understand it and doubled the price instead
There is a fine line between a well executed painting developed with intense skill by a masterful artist and a work of "art" defined by meaningless theatrical events surrounding it.

shred jeans they will sell for twice the price
shred a painting and it will sell for twice the price
now shred food and sell it for twice the price
Heroninja112 I don’t know, I feel like pre-shredded chicken might cost more than unshredded.
Apple slices cost more than buying a pound of apples
Lol. You're so right!
Haha I loved this first time I saw this on the news.
Banksy is fantastic
Sothebys didn't open the back of the frame like any reputable auction house would? Sure.
After sales service by the artist is almost unheard of in the art world. No wonder the work doubled in value, it had additional work done to it by the original artist and its meaning was increased.
It's still considered graffiti art even though it didn't shred all the way through.
**makes painting**
Buyers: oh wow this is a piece of art!
**shreds painting**
Buyers: • 0 •
Also buyers:
**jumping over chairs trying to buy it for more**
Weird flex but ok
You have to love the antics of banksy.... perhaps many of his graphitti walls are adorned with a concealed wrecking ball lmaooo
I applaud him
He should make one with some paint stored at the top and a push of the button would release the paint causing the original painting to be covered
1:05 hmm i dont think that's how it works
Banksey's new piece "Man who Should Have Burnt Fingers" is going to sell great.
Absolute madlad
I’m lowkey glad he tried to shed his work because why should only one person own it?
*cue the national anthem of USSR*
You mean OUR work.
Che opere d'arte bellissime! Sono realistiche! Mi piacerebbe averne una, x poterla ammirare continuamente, bravissimo! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Should’ve self-destructed.
This Is Why I Love Banksy
I’m really terrible at drawing but i try and I’m proud of my hard work but when “artists” just draw an x they call it art?!!!! Art is something is understandable with someone really hard work not just idk what to say sorry for wasting ur time guys I wrote a lot and I’m just being so lazy to delete this
Are we just gonna sit here and accept the fact that the dude at 1:05 is holding the soldering iron... by the iron.
So that's art? Look up Doug Turnbull restorations if you want to see art.
you can fart on a canvas and it'll be art. it's just for gullible people with too much money
Art isn't exactly the quality or intricacy of the painting, it's the meaning, stigma and history that's behind it.
Your right. Again look a t Doug Turnbulls work. Stigma and history are his work..@@fuckwit107
skigdivider x I think it’s really cool :(
you can spend years painting on oil of the history of the world and it will be shit to some. art is so goddamm subjective its not even worth trying at this point
I don't get real life art
I get anime art
Fair play I'm glad bansky done this good on you mate!
Why the doing that?(shredded to pieces) and
i wonder why art pieces so expensive?
even it can be draw on the street by professional artist
could anyone help explain about art value ?
MILLIONs IN A BLINK OF AN EYE .
for the lols
The message Banksy tried to transmit was how rich people spend millions in a useless piece of paper that could easily be destroyed, but it seems they didn't understand it and doubled the price instead
@@xalaxy3249 Lmaoo XD
There is a fine line between a well executed painting developed with intense skill by a masterful artist and a work of "art" defined by meaningless theatrical events surrounding it.
Ooof
Sad thing everyone he was trolling just sat around and cheered and praised what a genius he was.
*_...the paIntiNg got doUblEd the prIcE aFteR it got shrEdDed?..._*

It sounds so professional and respectable... VERY neat, very relaxed...precise and great timing.. no need for you to worry.. KUDOS to you...
Thanks Cham, great feedback, appreciate it :)
Bansky:HA! Jokes on you, no one will but my art if it's destroyed!
Art Guy: Maybe we should double the price.....
Bansky: "Am I a joke to you?"
I’m impressed after all these years he’s still unknown
1:05 Well, it seems that you've hired professionals.
Man this guy is awesome I LOVE IT
Banksy a true artist well done 👍
my art teacher was the biggest fanboy when he showed us this
Genius! Very upset it didn’t shred the whole thing.
Banksy: “psh, they never learn”
-presses button-
-painting self-destructs-
My boy banksy is at it again
That buyer must be soooo happy it shredded. Fastest profit ever.
Everyone: What an inspiring painting worth millions!
*painting shreds
Everyone: oh my goodness! This is even more wonderfully representational of the universe...
Love it... Don't love how it jacked his price up, pretty sure that's the opposite reaction that was intended.
love this art work
The greatest art from that is when he shred it...
Because it opened up a lot of meaning and symbolism... no wonder why the price increased upon getting shred...
0:07 look at the auctioneers right hand after he switches the gavel to his left hand. Too bad the auctioneer had to press the button under the table to shred the piece lol. It was all planned out. Dont freak out people haha
This made me *giggle* 😂
Ye everyone wanted to know if this made you giggle
This is beatiful!
Such beautiful art if I ever won the lottery I'd would definitely consider spending some on some of this art
This is Just like writing a Password Next to the Bank Vault
He shows how an artist should be. He doesn’t want the money at all
What a *LEGEND*
Banksy: This will teach you not to auction my paintings!
*people selling the art doubles the price*
banksy:*facepalm*
What a legend
Painting is priceless now
one of the few remaining actual artists..
WOW, whoever is soldering must have heat resistant hands!
0:34 the guy on the phone thought it was a bomb
Well, I guess I should start investing in shredders
Good way to hold a soldering iron at 1:04 lol
Painting gets auctin
Painting: Am i a joke to you?
Now thats epic
Imagine if someone snuck into museums and Installed shredders into paintings like the Mona Lisa painting or starry night and then they were auctioned off.
My check wouldve gotten shredded also. 😂
*painting when it gets shredded*
Painting: *Am i a joke to you?*
