Crypto Mogul Eats $6.2 Million Banana Art—Because Why Not?
In a jaw-dropping mix of modern art and mischief, a crypto entrepreneur turned heads by devouring a banana duct-taped to a wall—a piece of artwork he bought for a staggering $6.2 million.Crypto Mogul Eats $6.2 Million Banana Art—Because Why Not?
Yes, you read that right. The minimalist masterpiece, titled Comedian by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, made headlines when it first sold for $120,000 in 2019. But when this daring crypto enthusiast snagged it at a skyrocketed price, he decided to give the art world something to chew on—literally.
Standing in front of a crowd of stunned onlookers, he casually peeled the ripe fruit and took a bite, saying, “Art is about making a statement. Mine? Bananas taste better off walls.
The original concept of Comedian challenged traditional ideas of value in art—essentially asking, “What’s worth more: the idea or the object?” With his stunt, the crypto millionaire seems to have pushed the idea further, questioning whether the boundary between art and life even exists.
The banana itself wasn’t actually the $6.2 million prize. The buyer owns a certificate of authenticity that allows him to replace the fruit indefinitely. This cheeky performance? Just part of the package.
While some critics called it disrespectful, others applauded the act as a new layer of performance art. Love it or hate it, one thing’s for sure: this millionaire just gave us a taste of what happens when money, crypto, and art collide—bananas included.
