Robin Guggingham, a.k.a. "Banksy," recently pulled off this notorious stunt...
I just wanted to give everyone an update: yes, the purchaser -- a female European collector who placed her bid via phone call -- decided to keep the painting, and soon after the gavel went down (and the shredder turned on), Girl With Balloon was officially renamed Love Is In The Bin. It's now estimated to be worth 2-3 times what it sold for, since it is "the first work in history ever created during a live auction."
