Banana Art Controversy: Is This $1 Million Artwork Worth the Hype?

Maurizio Cattelan’s artwork *”Comedian”*, featuring a banana taped to a wall, is set to sell for $1 million to $1.5 million at Sotheby’s auction on November 20. Debuted at Art Basel in 2019, the piece has sparked controversy and curiosity. While the original fruit is gone, the banana is regularly replaced, as part of the artwork’s concept.
