Yeah just like that one in the shredder frame that shredded it as soon as it was sold - the removal could be seen as an unwitting part of the performance art.

I bet the shredded one tripled in value when it happened, buyer was probably very pleased. (Yes I'm too lazy to go verify my hunch).

Edit: yep, it originally fetched a bit over £1M at that auction, then was sold again a few years later for £18.6M lol.
