班克西画作在拍卖成交时刻“自毁” 惊呆众人班克西：我干的

苏富比拍卖行在《金融时报》上的一则声明中表示：“拍下画作的买家得知此事后很吃惊。我们已经与其进行了商谈，正在讨论接下来的处理办法。”

The auction house declined to reveal the identity of the buyer.

苏富比拒绝透露买家的身份。

On Saturday evening, Banksy posted a video on his Instagram page which showed a shredder being fitted to the frame of the painting.

上周六晚，班克西在自己的Ins页面上传了一个视频，视频中显示一个碎纸机被安装在画框中。

It opened with the caption: “A few years ago, I secretly built a shredder into a painting.”

视频开头的字幕写道：“几年前，我秘密在画框中安装了一个碎纸机。”

The clip shows a hooded figure putting the finishing touches on the device, before text appears on the screen saying: “In case it was ever put up for auction.”

视频中，一个身穿连帽衣的人正在对碎纸机做最后的操作，之后屏幕上出现了一句话：“以防这幅画有一天被拍卖。”

班克西此举被评论为对艺术受资本控制的一次最有力的嘲弄。不过，从未受此重创的拍卖行也迅速作出反应，称“作品其实更加珍贵了”。

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.
