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."
The emporer has no clothes. And there is no banana worth $120,000. Modern 'art' is a victimless crime.
I’m sure they can afford to duct-tape another banana to the wall
We are victims of the end of the way. What has to happen for a new one ? First of all, talking frankly about it...
Yeah cuz you EAT bananas. You don’t tape them to walls 🙄
Heres a photo of the so-called performance artist
Sure. $120 k in a museum, but 59 cents / lb at a Wal-Mart to replace it. No big.
It's not art. Any fool could tape fruit to the wall. That anyone would pay $120K for it is beyond comprehension. Money to burn and shit for brains. 🍌🍌🍌
I am glad he ate it rather than shov...... 🤣 ....erm.... that would have been a way more intense performance....
Everybody's gone bananas over banana art!
That's not art, that's a banana, baby!
It’s drug money laundering.
Only a Democrat’s gullible fool would value a everyday banana at $120,000, Obama paid a personal friend/unskilled web designer $650 million dollars to build the ACA website.
CNN: 'Please watch us. We can report on other things than negatively speaking about Orang......er, President Trump. Why, just take this post for example. This is CNN.'
The world of insufferable modern art, auto-cannibalizing itself. Amazing.
Thats funny
Do us all a favor; don’t vote and don’t drive a vehicle.

Biisi96 Please see this and laugh tomorrow morning 😂
Did they slather it with peanut butter first or nah?
Those wacky vegans. 😂
So, if I duct tape a rotting banana to my wall, I can get $120,000 for it? Barnum was right, there is a sucker born every minute.
This is either a huge publicity stunt or a money laundering scheme?
Now, tape his mouth 👄
Duct taped bananas ? I prefer to tuck my banana
good
Tape a Tide pod to the wall, get a millenial to eat it an call it “Money Laundering”
