Remember the shredded "Banksy Girl with Balloon" Print? It still sold!

According to BBC

"A woman who bought a Banksy painting for more than £1m will keep the artwork, despite it self-destructing after it sold at auction.

Moments after the framed Girl With Balloon was sold by Sotheby's in London, the canvas shredded itself.

Pest Control, a firm acting on behalf of the elusive artist, has titled the new piece Love is in the Bin.

Sotheby's has confirmed the final price of £1,042,000 will be paid in full by the new owner.

The European woman who bought the piece, who does not want to be named, said: "At first I was shocked, but I realised I would end up with my own piece of art history."

Moments after the hammer fell at the auction on Friday, alarms sounded and the canvas dropped through a hidden shredder built into the bottom.

In an Instagram post, the street artist posted a photo of the moment, showing shocked telephone buyers next to the canvas.

It still remains unclear how the shredder was activated."
