Maurizio Cattelan’s Duct-Taped Banana to Hit Sotheby’s Auction
Maurizio Cattelan’s duct-taped banana artwork has reappeared as if it had never gone away. The provocative piece titled “Comedian” (2019) initially puzzled spectators at Art Basel Miami Beach. As one of three editions, the first two were snapped up swiftly for an astounding $120,000 USD through Perrotin, and then its price increased slightly to $150,000 USD to a buyer connected to the Guggenheim Museum in New York.
