Hello hivers,
Good morning everyone , today I want to share with you all my duct tape banana drawing, though I'm joining the trend late, i believe its still evolving...
When a banana duct taped to a wall sold for $120,000 in 2019, social media uproar and an age old debate about the meaning of art ensued.
But artist Maurizio Cattalan's viral creation , titled "comedian" has proven a sound investment for one collector ; one of the artworks smashed to sell for $6.24 million at a Sotheby's auction in new York on Wednesday.
The auction hous had estimated the work to go for between $1million to $1.5million bidding began at $800,000. During the sale, auctioneer oliver barker described the work has "iconic " and disruptive, while joking that selling a banana at auction where word i never thought I'd say.
Let me know your thoughts following the art trend at the CS.
