国际中心综合报导

英国街头艺术家班克斯(Banksy)在拍卖会上自毁4000万元画作「女孩与气球」(Girl With Balloon),成为一堆条状碎纸,让在场所有人目瞪口呆。目前这件作品已改名为「垃圾桶中的爱」(Love is in the Bin),并由原买家依同样价格完成交易

作品原本在拍卖会上以100万英镑(约台币4000万)被标下,但拍卖槌敲下的那一刻,画作突然自己往下滑落,且被画框内预藏的碎纸机割成一团碎片

据《金融时报》报导,苏富比的高级主管布兰奇克(Alex Branczik)推测,应该是班克斯在成交那刻按下了遥控器当场启动画框内碎纸机。

苏富比拍卖公司(Sotheby's)11日在IG发文表示,这幅画本周末将会在伦敦展出,且买家是一名欧洲的女收藏家,她同意付104万英镑(约台币4266万)买下这件「自毁作」。

虽然买家不愿透露私人身分,但她向苏富比表示,画作被切碎的当下她很震惊,但她很快就明白「这是一件在拍卖会现场创作艺术品」。

We are pleased to announce that the winning bidder on @Banksy’s ‘Girl with Balloon’ last Friday night in London has confirmed their decision to acquire the new work that was created in our salesroom. Newly titled ‘Love is in the Bin’, the piece has become the first artwork in history to have been created live during an auction. The buyer, a female European collector and a long-standing client of Sotheby’s, is proceeding with the purchase at the same price as was achieved in the room on the night. ‘Love is in the Bin’ will be on view to the public in Sotheby’s New Bond Street galleries in #London on Saturday and Sunday 13th and 14th October from noon until 5pm. Final entry to the galleries at 4.40pm. #LoveIsInTheBin #SothebysContemporary #Banksy
