A South Korean art student consumed a $120,000 piece of art that comprised a banana duct-taped to a wall because he was "hungry," according to media reports.

When the “art” was first on display years ago it was eaten. But by an actual “performance artist” so it was okay.
I know, I added in the duct tape and repair time.
I bet he was singing:
Yes, we have no bananas, we have no bananas today.
Day-o, day-o
Daylight come and we want go home
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day
Daylight come and we want go home
Work all night on a drink of rum
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Stack banana ‘til the morning come
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Come Mister tally man, tally me banana
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Come Mister tally man, tally me banana
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Day, is a day-o
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Day, is a day, is a day, is a day
(Daylight come and we want go home)
A beautiful bunch of ripe banana
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Hide the deadly black tarantula
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Lift six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Six foot, seven foot, eight foot bunch
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Day, is a day-o
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day, is a day-o
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Come Mister tally man, tally me banana
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Come Mister tally man, tally me banana
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Day-o, day-o
(Daylight come and we want go home)
Day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day, me say day
(Daylight come and we want go home)

A black and rotting banana would be even more artistic. The dripping black smear would double the price.
I would like to see an insurance claim for a house fire with art of 6 banana art bunch of 720K.
I’ve got a million dollars sitting in my kitchen! Who knew?
With the idiocy of these people, it would not surprise me....
Love that song!
How about a black and rotting banana, and then a fresh one as well next to it. That would actually be sort of interesting and would perhaps make people think.
If anything it would make an interesting science project for a third-grader.
It was sold in 2019.
Hey, think of it this way, the artist gets paid and the eater is no longer hangry. It is a twofer.
Te same people that whine about “food deserts” tape bananas to walls and charge $120k?
Well, when you are hungry, you are hungry.
It sure as hell didn’t have the same banana back then...ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep- see Hunter Biden’s ‘art’.
Money laundering in plain sight.
As one so-called artist said about 60 years ago...”Any thing I SPIT is art!”
I’m glad he enjoyed it. It wasn’t art. It wasn’t worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, any more than monkeys splattering paint on canvas can be called the production of art.
I think the jury’s verdict will be “Oh well”.
> So if I duct taped a banana to a wall, and call it art, I could get $120,000 for it?
Only if you yodel like Yoko Ono.
Skip the banana art and make a “wish” sandwich. Sure to sell for big art $$$.
You’re welcome.
