I love his work, too. I liked the girl with the balloon, and his antics with it.

In DC they had an Unauthorized galley that was super super cool to walk through. It was the numbered prints that he would release way back when and then some things that they had even gotten from personal collaborators with him!

I liked his art from a while back. I havent followed his stuff lately. I just remember the painting shredding half way, but in his workshop he got it to fully shred. Then it became worth more! I would put the youtube video up, but my youtube isnt working well lately. https://youtu.be/eXKE0nAMmg4?si=yzm37a20KGJnGfZm

I remember that and because he ended up doing that it made the freakin art worth more!

Yeah, it was supposed to shred all the way. But its weird that the auction house didnt look behind the painting. Usually it is examined thoroughly.

My little theory is that someone saw it but was told not to mess with it personally and the person agreed to look the other way
reply
Probably. But have you seen how thick that frame actually is? Its pretty suspicious.
reply
Yeah it really wasnt the most concealed thing I have ever seen! I mean running it through an x ray machine alone would have set it off!

I guess he was in the auction house at the time they were selling it.
