- 18. Many of Banksy’s rat artworks were influenced by pioneering French graffiti artist Xavier Prou, better known as Blek le Rat, who is considered to be the ‘Father of Stencil Graffiti’ and whose rats has appeared around Paris since the 1980s. Banksy has acknowledged Prou as an inspiration, saying “Every time I think I’ve painted something slightly original, I find out that Blek le Rat has done it as well, only 20 years earlier.” In return, Prou has said of Banksy: “People say he copies me, but I don’t think so… I feel what he is doing in London is similar to the rock movement in the Sixties.”

- 21. • Sold by Sotheby’s London, Love is in the Bin is the partly shredded version of Girl with Balloon painting. It is Banksy’s most expensive physical artwork sold at an auction. • When Girl with Balloon sold for USD 1.4 million in October 2018, a shredder hidden in the frame was switched on immediately after the gavel fell, and half the painting went through the shredder. This incident made headlines across the globe and shocked the art world. • The owner of the shredded painting sold the work — renamed Love is in the Bin — for GBP 16 million (approx USD 25.4 million) at Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Sale on 14 October 2021. The lot was expected to sell for an amount between GBP 4 million to GBP 6 million (approx USD 5.5 million and 8.3 million). • Adding the buyer’s premium, the price came to GBP 18,582,000 (approx USD 29.5 million). The auction price of Love is in the Bin is thus the highest paid for a Banksy artwork.
