The Costliest Banana? Duct-Taped Banana Art Sold for $6.2 Million!
This iconic piece of art, titled “Comedian”, was created by Italian satirist Maurizio Cattelan.
It was sold at a Sotheby’s auction for a staggering $6.2 million!
Guess what? The buyer is Justin Sun, the founder of cryptocurrency TRON! He paid in crypto.
Sun calls it a
“cultural phenomenon”
connecting
art
,
memes
, and the
crypto community.
But here’s the catch – the banana is NOT part of the purchase!
The value lies in the
certificate
that allows the owner to “recreate” the artwork.
