A Banksy painting that partially shredded itself after being sold at auction is going back under the hammer - with a guide price almost six times higher than the original sale price. The subversive street artist stunned the art world when his Girl With Balloon attempted to self-destruct in London in 2018 immediately after the conclusion of the auction. The painting, re-titled Love Is In The Bin after the shredding, is now back on offer and will appear at a Sotheby’s auction in October. Banksy rose to prominence through a series of graffiti pieces that appeared on buildings across the country, marked by their satirical themes. Love Is In The Bin will be offered at auction on October 14.
