Banksy trolled the art world, and the internet is running with it.。
The enigmatic street artist pulled off an incredible stunt last weekend, giving a giant metaphorical middle finger to the art world. As soon as his painting, "Girl With Balloon," was auctioned off for a whopping $1.4 million, the artwork began to shred itself. 。
