The $120,000 Banana Wins Art Basel
The $120,000 Banana Wins Art Basel Stampeding billionaires took over Miami Beach for the annual art fair where everybody is V.I.P. Dec. 6, 2019 Leave it to Maurizio Cattelan. The first flight of V.I.P. collectors had barely arrived at Art Basel Miami Beach, the art fair that some call the “Running of the Billionaires,’’ and the satirical Italian artist had already won the battle for Instagram. All he needed was a banana and some duct tape. In a gesture straight out of the Duchamp playbook, Mr. Cattelan emerged from productive hibernation with his first sculpture created for an art fair in 15 years. The piece, titled “Comedian,’’ was the endpoint in a creative process that saw him cycling through renditions of the fruit in resin and bronze, before settling on the real thing. Now more than ever at this fair, art dealers ship in their choicest inventory; Mr. Cattelan’s competition included Picasso, Basquiat and Georg Baselitz. Still, minutes after the gun went off for a V.I.P. preview on Wednesday morning (the fair would not open to the public for another day) collectors were already making a beeline for the Galerie Perrotin booth and Mr. Cattelan’s banana, offered in a limited edition of three with one artist’s proof, at a cost of $120,000 apiece. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/06/s...ami-beach.html |

I prefer this kind of banana art. It's a lot cheaper and you can really "peel out" with it:
