The artist eats the banana of art that cost $140,000 (Video)

A piece of art that was sold for $120,000 last week and taken as “the symbol of global trade” has been eaten.

This art work was on display at the International Perrot Gallery in Miami's Art Basel when the artist from New York, David Datuna, ate it, saying he was hungry, writes The Guardian, follows Periscope.

The founder of the Emmanuel Perrotin Gallery stated this week that the “Maurizio's Framework [By the way, the artist was called Maurizio Cattellan], is not only about objects, but also about how objects move around the world. ”

Not everything is lost to the buyer, who, let us face it, had to deal with bananas in some way. The work comes with an authenticity certificate, and the buyer can replace it. It didn't destroy my art work. Banana is the idea,” said Lucian Terras.

A new banana was introduced by Perrot just a few minutes later. /Periscope
