| Abstract: |
The article discusses the controversial artwork "Comedian" by Maurizio Cattelan, which features a duct-taped banana. Originally displayed at Art Basel Miami Beach in 2019, the piece caused a stir and was eventually removed due to overwhelming crowds. One of the three editions of the artwork is now set to be auctioned with an estimated price of $1 million to $1.5 million, sparking discussions about the value of art and the nature of the art market. The winning bidder will receive a certificate of authenticity, display instructions, a roll of duct tape, and a banana, with the artwork set to tour various cities before the sale.
