Recently, someone ate a $6.2 million piece of “art.”
The “art” installation in question by Maurizio Cattelan bears the title “Comedian” and consists of a banana duct-taped to the wall. Perhaps the museum-goer who consumed the piece thought it was part of a complimentary snack bar; or maybe they just wanted to point out the absurdity of considering the combination of fruit and an adhesive a work of art.
