There were three editions, the gallery said, adding that two had already sold for around $120,000. It's unclear whether the banana being eaten will detract from the artwork's value, or whether Cattelan plans to buy more bananas and start again. CNN has contacted the gallery for comment. Prior to the reported sale, the gallery's founder Emmanuel Perrotin told CNN the bananas are "a symbol of global trade, a double entendre, as well as a classic device for humor," adding that the artist turns mundane objects into "vehicles of both delight and critique." --- "We would have no NBA possibly if they got rid of all the flopping." ~ Dwyane Wade https://imgur.com/MYYEIx5 https://imgur.com/WGE12ef ...
