In a stunt that has now become internationally famous, on Friday 5 October, Banksy's 'Girl With A Balloon' self destructed right after it was sold for more than £1m at auction at Sotheby's.

 

After the painting self destructed, it's thought that the work increased in value, with art sales site My Art Broker.com predicting that it could have even added 50 per cent to its sale value, rising to £2m. 

 

Discussing the stunt on their Twitter account, they wrote:
