Check out Banksy’s 10 Most Amazing Works Of Art! Banksy is an England-based graffiti artist, political activist and film director of unverified identity and this is his 10 most amazing works of art.

Banksy is perhaps the most mysterious and subversive artist alive, for years people have been trying to figure out who’s behind these works.

Who is Banksy? A graffiti artist!

You think you want to know who Banksy is but knowing would take away the magic of his work.

It was the stunt that stunned the art world and the elusive artist behind it is now out to prove it really happened. Anonymous British artist Banksy made heads spin when his “Girl With Balloon” canvas shredded in front of a crowd after it sold at auction for $1.4 million, but many speculated about whether he was telling the truth, claiming the painting didn’t shred at all. Others believe the auction house was in on it.

So how did Banksy pull off this widespread-attention–getting stunt, squeezing all of the necessary electrical and mechanical components inside the frame — and how can you replicate (if not one-up) it on your own?

So how did Banksy pull off this widespread attention-getting stunt, squeezing all the necessary electrical and mechanical components inside the frame … and how can you replicate (if not one-up) it on your own? Details on Banksy’s setup are sparse at best, but in combination with my own engineering chops, I’m going to take a stab at answering these questions.

The partial shredding of a Banksy artwork didn’t go entirely to plan, the artist has confirmed.

Banksy posted an update video showing more of the prank build and the shredding mechanism. But he’s still trolling us!

Artist’s video depicts practice run in which piece is entirely destroyed, alongside words ‘In rehearsals it worked every time …’

In the connected future will anyone truly own any thing? Banksy’s artworld shocker performance piece, earlier this month, when a canvas of his went under the hammer at Sothebys in London, suggests not.

As we reported at the time, the anonymous artist had spent years planning this particular prank. Yet the stunt immediately inflated the value of the canvas — some suggested by as much as 50% — despite the work itself being half shredded, with just a heart-shaped balloon left in clear view.

The damaged canvas even instantly got a new title: Love Is in the Bin.

However it turns out that the shredder malfunctioned. And had in fact been intended to send the whole canvas into the bin the second after it sold.

Or, at least, so the prankster says — via a ‘director’s cut’ video

It’s almost as if Banksy is trying to warn us that technology is eroding ownership, concentrating power and shifting agents of control.
