That’s a reference to a famous art piece. The piece, titled ‘Comedian,’ was created by the artist Maurizio Cattelan. It was displayed at the 2019 Art Basel festival in Miami, Florida. The work consisted of a banana duct-taped to a wall. It gained significant attention and sparked debate about the nature of art and its value.
The piece was initially priced at $120,000, but it was later sold for $100,000. While it may seem absurd to pay such a high price for a banana duct-taped to a wall, the piece was meant to be a commentary on the commercialization of art and the way that value is assigned to it.
In many ways, the piece was a clever and thought-provoking commentary on the art world, and it certainly generated a lot of conversation and debate. However, it’s worth noting that the piece was not intended to be a permanent work of art, and it was eventually removed from display.
In comparison to a regular banana that you can buy at a supermarket for under $1, the price of the art piece was extremely high. However, as an art piece, it was not meant to be consumed or used as food, but rather as a statement about the value we place on art.
