Hungry artist' shocks crowd by grabbing and eating a banana duct-taped to a wall - a piece worth $120k - at an art show in Miami
A few bystanders could be heard giggling before a flustered gallery official whisked him to an adjoining space for questioning."He did not destroy the artwork. The banana is the idea," Lucien Terras, director of museum relations for Galerie Perrotin, told the Miami Herald.
As it turns out, the value of the work is in the certificate of authenticity, the newspaper reported. The banana is meant to be replaced.Gallery owner Emmanuel Perrotin attaches a banana with duct-tape in the wall where the artwork 'Comedian' by the artist Maurizio Cattelan was exhibited in Miami Beach, Florida, December 7, 2019
"This has brought a lot of tension and attention to the booth and we're not into spectacles," Terras said. "But the response has been great. It brings a smile to a lot of people's faces.""He was not arrested, but we asked him to leave the booth and to leave the fair," she said.Cattelan is perhaps best known for his 18-carat, fully functioning gold toilet called "America" that he had once offered on loan to US President Donald Trump.
The toilet, valued at around $5 to $6 million, was in the news again in September when it was stolen from Britain's Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of wartime leader Winston Churchill, where it had been on display.
