And then it was sold at Sotheby’s for $20M.
He found a way to one-up Banksy with his shredding of a sketch of a girl holding a balloon.
And who said that performance art was dead?
Now that the supply of his artwork is limited it increased tenfold in value
Standing ovation
Be careful about getting stoned at parties. ;-)
Ouch!
how ironically appropriate.
Squish you were here.
Irony. Pure and simple.
Life, or death, imitating art?
Irony the wrinkly birthday-y suit-y
They were all im-pressed
The waiter pushed it over.
Darwinism inserts itself.
He dies for – or because of – his art. Also a metaphor for the path some seem to be following these days.
He will never top that.
Live in the moment. Die in the moment.
He lived for recognition. He died for recognition.
I suppose it kind of had to happen … as it was written in stone.
This reminded me about a comic of Calvin and Hobbes. Calvin says something to the effect that the trouble with avant garde is you never know who is putting who on.
Going out with a SPLAT doesn’t really do it for me….
love it! :D
Pity. He didn’t even get to finish his drink.
……..and it was.
Now, if it was made of balsa wood, he could have put it on top of his car instead of renting a crane and truck, and he could collect payment too.
Maybe Final Jeopardy before it fell.
Now it’s worth millions.
I saw that coming.
Never forget the Gods have a nasty sense of humor.
Saw that coming
What is he planning for his next exhibition?
I could have sworn there was an elephant in there.
Didn’t Daffy Duck do that decades ago with some uranium and other explosive products? ;)
Performance art…I like it.
So, did the guy in the blue suit with the tray of drinks give it a push?
That IS irony…
Banksy and his final self-destructing work of art.
While the word is often misused, THAT’s irony.
Reminiscent of the blue stallion at Denver airport. It fell on the sculptor. Killed him. RIP creator of Bluecifer.
Performance art?
Timothy Leary got the biggest audience with his Youtube sendoff
Art is truly subjective.
Aw too bad!
This comic would also work as a weekday strip with just the last two panels.
The sculpture and artist were both unbalanced.
Definitely “Mad Magazine” humor here.

I’m wondering if that suspiciously placed waiter had gotten tired of the artsy talk and simply wanted to go home.
“Just the place for a snark! I have said it thrice: what I tell you three times is true.” Lewis Carrol
I love the name of the art gallery. Wiley is the best!
New meaning to getting stoned.
Irony smacks him hard! XD
Oh, so it’s PERFORMANCE art. And it really lived up to its name.
Ultimate performance art.
The Real Final Irony:
The clumsy Cater Waiter broke his masterpiece so they had to buy another tombstone.
