I will stick a banana in a tailpipe and sell it for $10 million.
“There’s a sucker born every minute.”
> sold at Sotheby’s in New York for $6.2 million <
Looks like my bid of 18 cents fell a little short.
It actually sounds like a setup for a Leslie Nielsen routine, where he he takes the banana off the wall and eats it.
“This is not just an artwork; it represents a cultural phenomenon that bridges the worlds of art, memes, and the cryptocurrency community. I believe this piece will inspire more thought and discussion in the future and will become a part of history.”
That statement came from the crypto BILLIONAIRE that bought this stupidity......think of all the help that money could have been to people desperately struggling to get by. SMH
How can one read this article and not think that high-dollar “art” sales are a form of money laundering?
This must be a forgery! I thought the original banana-duct-taped-to-wall work of art was done several years ago. Would not buy “art” with a sell-by date.
The FACT that many here are unable to understand this work and hence its value simply proves how IGNORANT conservatives truly are.
Hey idiot who bought it…bananas rot
I didnt read anything over there and just scrolled down to see the pic...
But if that indeed sold for 6.2M, there are more fkn retards in the world than I ever imagined...
Food prices have sure gone up under the Biden/Harris regime
It’s a work in progress. I wonder how much it will be worth after it’s fully aged.
Modern “art” is nature’s way of telling certain people they have too much money.

Some BRAINIACS are borderline MANIACS.
That’s called F U money....
Perhaps modern art is just an ad-hoc currency for the very wealthy. It needn’t have any intrinsic value, or even be art, in any real sense.
When crap like this goes for unseemly amounts of money, it is a 99% probability that money laundering is the goal.
What motivates someone to buy a rotten banana on a board, a canvas filled with paint splashed by a monkey, or the output of an “AI” program?
I’ve got an old dropcloth from the last time I did some painting. What do you suppose I can get for it, if I say it was done by a monkey running an “AI” program?
This is what the Bolsheviks called the Bourgeoisie.
A class of wealthy, decadent, depraved groups that look down on the lower class peasants. They have endless money to burn.
I am describing the elitist World Economic Forum EuroTrash.
