For Ms. Luddeke's Art Appreciation course at ECU, we recreated a famous work of art. The piece I chose is by an anonymous artist, Banksy titled "Love is in the Bin". Originally, the graffiti street art was titled "Girl with Balloon" and in some installations, it featured the phrase "There is always hope".
Banksy's anti-establishment theory on art lead him to vow if it ever sold at auction it would be destroyed. He then secretly installed a shredder into the Girl with Balloon's frame. When the painting sold and the gavel struck, onlookers watched in horror as the painting went through the built in shredder. Banksy authenticated the stunt and renamed it "Love is in the Bin". Sothebys announced it as the first performance art piece ever created at auction.
Girl with Balloon originally sold for $1.4 million. The shredded and newly titled Love is in the Bin ironically sold for $25.4 million.
