I really haven't paid attention to the artwork, but I like his/her style.

Brilliant! Financially painful, but brilliant.
Worth more I would say.
This is awesome:

Really. Good. Batteries.
I'd like some more info on who had this painting all those years.

The website MyArtBroker.com, which resells Banksy pieces, said Girl with Balloon had enjoyed annual increases in value of about 20% in recent years. "Prices now are regularly exceeding £115,000 for signed authenticated prints," said its co-founder Joey Syer.
"The auction result will only propel this further and given the media attention this stunt has received, the lucky buyer would see a great return on the £1.02m they paid last night.
"This is now part of art history in its shredded state and we'd estimate Banksy has added at a minimum 50% to its value, possibly as high as being worth £2m plus."

Banksy is getting multi-$millions media out of this stunt. Intertubes going nuts. I'm going to have to filter,
I just wish that the entire painting woudl have shredded itself and fell to the floor in pieces. That is the only thing to make it better.
