Why should a banana be priced at $6.2 million, only to be eaten afterward? To me, it's a way of trivializing art, with some people flaunting their wealth just to make a statement.
The buyer of this banana, in an artistic sense, is the founder of Tron. 🫤
should be posted in r/cringe ;)
It’s not the flex he thinks it is
Art can be only idea of something that hasn't been done. Althought this could be also trivial speech about art at general... The one who recieve and thinks has the right answer. Art is within eye of the beholder
I did some research on the artist behind this piece. He is Maurizio Cattelan, an Italian conceptual and contemporary artist who often addresses social, political, and cultural issues in his work. His most famous piece, The Comedian—a banana taped to a wall—was sold in 2019 for $120,000. It sparked widespread debate in the art world and among the public, becoming a symbol of critique on contemporary art and the art market.
money laundering?
