A banana duct-taped to a wall has gone on sale for an amazing £91,000. It is made by the Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan. The piece is the final of the three works on sale, with the last now going for even more money.
Mr Cattelan said he bought the fruit at a local market, probably for around 20 pennies before they went on sale at an art gallery in Miami, Florida. The work of art is called “Comedian”. It is a reflection of a joke about rich people not knowing the price of a banana.
On Wednesday it was presented at Art Basel Miami Beach by Perrotin, an art gallery founded in Paris. It had a long association with the Italian artist. Gallery founder Emmanuel Perrotin said that banana is “a symbol of global trade, a double meaning, as well as a way of humor”.
