Do you remember this news story? Now the artwork is going to be up for auction again next month at a much higher price than it reached originally. 

  • How do you feel about this? Can you think of reasons why Girl with Balloon (renamed as ‘Love is in the Bin’) should be more valuable now? Can you see the point? 
  • Was shredding it a clever stunt on Banksy’s side to increase the value of his work?  
  • If you were affluent enough, would you bid for the painting? Why would you/wouldn’t you?
