Images of the auction went around the world. According to the auction house, Banksy has actually created a new work of art with the destructive stunt, making it worth more now.
Despite the artwork’s popularity, the current owner has decided to sell the painting. But before that, the work will first be exhibited in London, Hong Kong, Taipei and New York.
