The Art of Ownership

In twenty eighteen the artist bank sold a painting titled girl with balloon. A bank painting sells at auction for one point four million dollars. Gavel drops, and so does the painting. The painting drops with the gavel. What happened was, when the gavel dropped, the painting seemed to into action and slowly descended into a hidden threshing machine that banky had built into the bottom of the display. And literally, the picture was shredded in front of the whole audience gasping in dismay as this valuable piece of art was spontaneously destroyed in front of their very eyes.
