Banksy’s Shredded Painting Sells for Record $25.4 Million–Now Just Cereal Launches ‘Banksy’s Shredded Wheat’

London, United Kingdom Jan 25, 2026 (EMWNews.com) – The art world was stunned when Banksy’s self-destructing masterpiece, Girl with Balloon, shredded itself moments after being auctioned for $1.4 million in 2018. Fast-forward to 2021, and the same work–now titled Love is in the Bin–sold for a staggering $25.4 million, the highest price ever paid for a Banksy painting. Now, in a bold fusion of street art and breakfast culture, Just Cereal introduces ‘Banksy’s Shredded Wheat’, a collectible cereal box that turns a $25 million masterpiece into an accessible $2 breakfast staple.  

The limited-edition Banksy’s Shredded Wheat features the Girl with Balloon image before its infamous shredding, allowing fans to own a slice of art history with their morning meal. It’s a tribute to the idea that even destruction can lead to greater value–a concept Banksy himself proved when his shredded painting skyrocketed in worth.  

“Art shouldn’t just hang on walls–it should be part of everyday life,” said Megan Summers, a spokesperson for Just Cereal. “With Banksy’s Shredded Wheat, we’re giving people the chance to enjoy a million-dollar masterpiece for the price of a bowl of cereal.”  

The collaboration is a playful commentary on commercialism and the nature of value in both art and consumer goods. Much like Banksy’s original prank, Just Cereal’s launch invites conversation: What happens when high art meets pop culture?  

Banksy’s Shredded Wheat will be available for a limited time at select retailers and online. Get it before it’s “shredded” off the shelves.
