Another pov on the 🍌: "But what if “Comedian” is what we all deep down know it to be — a solipsistic statement, an overpriced fruit, bad art that doesn’t even rise to the satisfying punch of a gimmick? Much like poorly executed art-world satire that secretly relishes in what it purports to critique, Cattelan’s piece isn’t holding up a mirror to anything. Sun, tonight top’s bidder, didn’t acquire “a part of history,” as he said in a statement — he bought a banana and a roll of tape."
And another pov by Amanda Knox: “The banana duct-taped to the wall at art basel Miami just sold for over 6 mil. But what was actually for sale was a certificate of authenticity to reproduce the artwork on your own wall with your own banana and tape. So basically...an NFT. Guess who bought it? A crypto bro.” https://bsky.app/profile/amandaknox.com/post/3lbgcqsefke2x
