malfunctioning shredder: Read more Banksy video says 'Balloon Girl' shredding went wrong A malfunctioning shredder located inside the frame of the artwork preserved the actual image, and also allowed the anonymous buyer to continue with the purchase of what was essentially a new work created live during the auction, according to Deutsche Welle. Banksy didn't destroy an artwork in the auction, he created one, said Sotheby's in a statement. But when the street artist recently attempted to shred his work after it was sold for auction at Sotheby's hence renamed Love is in the Bin in order to draw attention to the folly of the big money global art world, he ironically only added to its renown, and no doubt its value. Indeed, the rechristened Love is in the Bin will be exhibited from February 5 in Germany, on a four-week guest stint at the Museum Frieder Burda in Baden-Baden before the new owner hands it over to the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart on permanent loan. Meanwhile, DW spoke with Ulrich Blanch an expert in British postwar art at the European Institute for Art History in Heidelberg, about the importance of the work. The object will be the subject of lectures and a podium discussion in Baden-Baden until the exhibition ends on March 3.
