Description
(Another) "Comedian”
No other artwork from the twenty-first century has provoked scandal, sparked imagination, and upended the very definition of contemporary art like Maurizio Cattelan’s "Comedian," whose debut at Art Basel Miami Beach in December 2019 captivated the world.
Comprised of a banana fastened to a wall with duct tape, hung exactly 160 centimeters from the floor, Comedian belongs to the rare league of artworks that need no introduction, having quickly erupted into a viral global sensation that drew record crowds, social media inundation, landed the cover of The New York Post, and divided viewers and critics alike.
Passionately debated, rhapsodically venerated, and hotly contested -- and eaten not only once, but twice -- the work headlined news stories shared around the world, becoming the most talked-about artwork of the century.
This is not that one, but an amusing reproduction, designed to raise funds for a wonderful school and provide a nice snack for the winning bidder.
