Its just how they laundry dirty money

The controversial piece, called "The Comedian," was created by Maurizio Cattelan, an Italian artist who had also entertained art lovers from around the globe in 2017 with his "America" 18-carat-gold toilet. However, the $6-million throne was stolen from England's Blenheim Palace over the summer.

Hmmmmm

The artist reported no clear instructions for buyers on whether the bananas start to decompose. The Miami Herald reported that owners can replace the banana, as needed.

uhh

doesn't this mean I could also just make it for myself for way lower cost

I'm all for strange and abstract art, but we've reached an all time low for this to be selling for that much. You either have to be an idiot to buy this or up to some illegal activities.

If you have 120k to spare for Duct Tape Wall Bananas (a great band name), maybe the government should use that money to build roads or improve the internet or even just set it on fire?

This is a prime example of a society thats gone overboard in regards to wealth inequality. People should be allowed to make good money if they for example have gotten an education and work hard, but spending that much on something like this is beyond obscene.

I feel like I cant express myself fully on this issue in English though.

His eating of the banana has more meaning as there are plenty of starving people out there and here we have some mook taping a banana to a wall. Haha, I love performance art now!

What people don't realize is that if this piece of art wasn't so, ahem, esoteric in its conception, we'd probably never hear about it, no matter how good it was, because nobody really cares about art these days unless it 'looks stupid'. Except for rich people.

he's a very talented painter. he makes those still life (impressionist?) paintings look very interesting and unique compared to what you see from the renaissance pieces.
