Maurizio Cattelan’s artwork Comedian, showcasing a banana secured to a wall with duct tape, fetched an impressive $6.2 million (PKR 170 crore) at Sotheby’s in New York—far exceeding its initial estimate of $1.5 million.
Chinese crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun outbid six competitors to claim the piece and later declared his intent to eat the banana as part of the artistic experience.
Notably, the banana, which has been consumed twice in the past, can be replaced once it spoils.
