A 29-piece collection of works by the elusive artist Banksy has sold for a record-breaking amount of $1,371,195 USD at a Christie’s auction.
Leading the “I can not believe you morons actually buy this shit” collection was the 2004 print, Girl With Balloon. With an original estimate of up to $90,000 USD, bidders smashed the top valuation with a final sale of approximately $491,000 USD — a record-high for the artist.
