Telegraph, 15 Oct 2021
The partially shredded Love Is In The Bin Banksy painting has sold for £18,582,000 at auction.
The painting, originally titled Girl With Balloon, hit headlines in 2018 when it partially self-destructed at the conclusion of an auction in which it had been sold for £1.1 million.
The canvas passed through a secret shredder hidden inside the large frame, leaving the bottom half in tatters and only a solitary red balloon left on a white background in the frame.
