See The Reason for That answer below:
Banksy, the enigmatic street artist known for his thought-provoking graffiti across the globe, created ‘Girl with Balloon’ in 2006, which featured a built-in shredder. During an auction in London, the artwork was sold for £1,042,000 ($1.4 million), tying the artist’s previous record achieved in 2008. As the hammer signaled the end of the auction, the framed piece, which depicted a girl reaching out for a red heart-shaped balloon, began to pass through a concealed shredder in the frame.
This unexpected incident made instant art history, becoming the first time a work of art had self-destructed after being sold. Senior Director and Head of Contemporary Art, Europe London, Alex Branczik exclaimed, “It appears we just got Banksy-ed.” Banksy posted a video on his Instagram account, which seems to show him constructing the shredder in the frame.
