The banana is titled "Comedian" by italian artist Maurizio Castro. Hand of Maurizio Cattelan. According to himself, the work was "well thought out" from the curvature and color of the banana to the tape sticking method.
Part of The Comedian by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, which has a total of three bananas.
He bought the bananas from the market for 30 cents, about the equivalent of two yuan, but someone has already bid $120,000 to buy them. Interestingly, the banana was picked up and eaten in public by a performance artist named David Datuna before it could be delivered, and a video was posted on his social media titled "The Hungry Artist." Although the staff was a little angry at the time and quickly changed a banana, the gallery director said Thatutuna's actions "did not really destroy the artwork, nor did it have an impact on the value of the work, because the value of the banana work lies in its creativity." In addition, it is reported that Cattelan also attached a replacement note to his work, that is, this banana can be replaced, and this work can be continuously derived.
The above is the synopsis of the event, the reason why the narrative is more detailed, not only because the whole event is very strong story, drama, and it almost classicly reproduces the basic characteristics, essence and differences of modern and contemporary art, but also truly triggered the public's attention to art and artistic creation again, especially for the performance art, concept art, process art, installation art, ready-made art and other conscious or unconscious involvement and discussion in modern and contemporary art. In addition, there are also some involuntary questions and reflections on what is art and what kind of relationship art exists between life.
