Recently, an art piece titled Comedian which was created by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan became viral worldwide. The art piece is simply a single piece of banana duct-taped to the gallery wall.
Soon after that, a Singaporean durian seller made a parody of the modest yet ‘sophisticated’ work of art which was displayed at the Art Basel show in Miami Beach in the US.
The original artwork was sold to a French collector for a whopping USD$120,000 and it became the most-talked about artwork recently.
David Datuna, a Georgian-born American artist surprised spectators when he walked up to the exorbitantly-priced banana and removed it from the wall.
