In 2019, a banana sold at Art Basel for $120,000. Titled ‘Comedian’, Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, would buy a banana every time he traveled and would hang it in his hotel room to find inspiration. “The genius of Cattelan’s banana is that it draws out the mainstream media’s suspicion that all contemporary art is a type of emperor’s new clothes foisted on rich people”. Y’all think this banana is worth $120k? - #ArtBasel #Art #ArtNews #Hypebeast
