Amid a crowd of stunned onlookers, a performance artist has taken a piece of art work — a banana duct-taped to a wall at the Art Basel Miami Beach — and eaten it
this week, we should probably have known where the story was heading.
"I really love this installation. It's very delicious," David Datuna wrote on Instagram, alongside a video showing the aftermath of his stunt. Entitled"Comedian," the artwork comprised a banana bought in a Miami grocery store, and a single piece of duct tape. There were three editions, the gallery said, adding that two had already sold for around $120,000.
Prior to the reported sale, the gallery's founder Emmanuel Perrotin told CNN the bananas are"a symbol of global trade, a double entendre, as well as a classic device for humor," adding that the artist turns mundane objects into"vehicles of both delight and critique."
