I presume everyone has followed the story to some degree, but I can't help feeling that Banksy didn't pull off what he hoped to.
I may be wrong, but I reckon he was after a 'full shred' so the picture fell, confetti-like to the floor. The buyer would have the choice of either pulling out of the sale, sticking the shreds back onto a backing or putting the shreds into a jar and labelling it 'Going, going, gone' (my preferred option). However the 'half-way house' shred that happened of half a picture, half-shredded, half out of the frame has give rise to a rather iconic image/art-piece. I'm sure the intention was to cock a snoop at the monied artworld and diminish the picture's value but, conversely, he has more than likely increased its value immensely.
Interesting stunt though.
