In case of emergency eat this.
Now it’s performance art.
OMG, how ever will they replace it?
So if I duct taped a banana to a wall, and call it art, I could get $120,000 for it? People nowadays have rubbish for taste.
And he will repeat the performance for the low price of $100,000, banana and duct tape included.
Take it as a compliment that the art was appealing.
>> OMG, how ever will they replace it?
Follow him to the bathroom?
Monty Python did it years ago!
Whatever they came out of there with some art critic would call it art.
Worth? Unless someone paid $120k for it, it’s just a banana. Replace it for a buck.
Sure. See something that doesn’t belong to you and you want it, then just take it.
Geez.
“So if I duct taped a banana to a wall, and call it art, I could get $120,000 for it? People nowadays have rubbish for taste.”
The real work of art was by who marketed this Banana to be work 120k...
Crap art. Just buy another banana and tape it to the wall. The art piece is worth $1.
That is total BULLSH*T!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In 3-4 days, that banana would have been black and rotting...
Wouldn’t even cost a buck. At my local store, bananas are .49 cents a lb.
It ain’t art.
Because if I could do the same thing, it ain’t art.
He can put the “art” back as a reflection to the art or he could go the performing art route. So many ways to go with this butt in the end it’s a great commentary on art these days.
The entire article sounds like the Babylon Bee. At the end of the article:
“The Italian creator of the [banana] artwork also was behind the gold toilet offered to the White House on loan by New York City’s prestigious Guggenheim Museum.
The museum rejected a request to display Van Gogh’s 1888 “Landscape With Snow” work in the residence and proposed the toilet instead.
