Similar or equivalent to when Matt Cassell was getting paid in the NFL.

Major art. :facepalm:

Do you know how many pigs I had to molest to make 120K

It's pretty derivative of an earlier work of mine, "Grape dropped on floor".

That thing got sold multiple times. People know art. Reid or Speaks would of ate it.

Apparently we are all in the wrong line of work..

Just be thankful that you found a way to turn your passion into a career.

You can thank me later for my contributions, Now buy my used household appliances as I wrap duct tape around them. I'll tell you what for an extra 100k I'll toss some glitter on them too!

A fool and his money shall soon be parted.

More derivative of the deuce I dropped in the toilet bowl

Derivative.

Bananas are way too healthy.

Banana shake, split or pudding would do in a pinch.

wtf the banana is gonna go bad and become disgusting

I don't understand rich ppl

They're just laundering money for some friends. Pay no attention to the banana held on to the wall by duct tape and its "deeper meaning".

LMAO

Truth .

This guy gets it.

Money laundering

OK,I'd buy that.

Just buy another banana and a roll of duct tape. Fixed for 5 bucks, sold for 120k again.

I'm so confused.

The artist is mocking the art world with this banana duct tape piece. The link even says he's mocking modern art. Someone still paid the artist $120k for his artwork which mocks modern art. Brilliant

To think there are some moronic art majors out there with a worthless degree from an Ivy League school with student loans up around that same mark.

I’m gonna take a dump on a picture of Tom Brady and see what I can get for it, where should I start the bidding?

Reminds me of the story of how John Lennon met Yoko Ono...

Ono and Lennon first met on November 9, 1966 at the Indica Gallery in London, where she was preparing her conceptual art exhibit, and they were introduced by gallery owner John Dunbar.[19] Lennon was initially unimpressed with the exhibits he saw, including a pricey bag of nails, but one piece, Ceiling Painting/Yes Painting, had a ladder with a spyglass at the top. When he climbed the ladder, Lennon felt a little foolish, but he looked through the spyglass and saw the word "YES"....

Actually I bet there's somebody that would pay for that

Bad news, art lovers ...

Some dude ate the banana.

++++++++++++

A New York-based performance artist ate the $120,000 banana at the Art Basel exhibition in Miami Beach on Saturday — sending the gallery that sold it into a PR tailspin.

At around 1:45 p.m. David Datuna made a last supper out of the fruit, er, artwork, the Miami Herald reported.

Datuna pried Maurizio Cattelan’s “Comedian” — a banana duct-taped to a wall — loose, peeled it open, and then devoured it, footage of the deed shows.

“You’re not supposed to touch the art!” one aghast onlooker shouted, according to one witness, Perrotin Gallery partner Peggy Leboeuf.

No word on what he did with the duct tape.

However, investigations continue.

****ing awesome!

Viewed the thread title on my phone. Thought it said "Bawana taped to wall."

Opened thread immediately.

This whole thread makes me want to punch someone in the balls

Very Banksy of him, this is how you do it these days

I had the below listing up for a bit on ebay - I shared it with Rainman - he didn't laugh that much. His sense of humor is far superior to mine.


17 Individual Farts in a Zip Bag.
Farted in bag 17 times / quickly re-sealed
Most of the Farts came after eating relatively expensive meals, places like Ted's Montana (Thanksgiving 2019), Texas Roadhouse, PF Changs and the likes, thus the price will naturally go up a little.

Holy SHIT SR , Thats awesome!

A lot better than this ****ing $120k banana

Then it's an entirely new and different piece of art. The are recreates itself. OH, MY GOD. THE ART RECREATES ITSELF!

Hey, I chuckled. You just couldn't see it. And I didn't know it was your original art at first.

Not good, Mr. TLO ...

You may be suffering from potassium deficiency.

Hell I might

So somebody ate this 120k nana? Probably tastes just like the 10 cent ones if I were guessing.

Hoping to exchange this for a Big Mac and fries.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3d21685d1c.jpg

Patrick Mahomes allegedly grasped this banana.

It all makes sense now.

The banana is a piece of work that speaks a profound message to all of us.

Yours is a bad trace of Mr. Potato Head.

If you are stoned maybe.

I should shit in a box, and sell it in a gallery calling it Dolphin Rape

It tasted a little more duct-tapey, I bet.

How much does a dildo taped to a wall Go for?






Bills fan

The fact that you met that threshold in that manner is still admirable none the less.

Only in America. Seriously. Embarassing.

shudder

I once had a potential client call me, and the very first thing she wanted to know was where did I study and get my degree in Art.

When I told her I was naturally gifted, she said thank you and hung up.

It's a shame though, I've never been a gallery and all the superlatives kind of guy, because First Fridays are pretty hopping in KC.

Love what this guy did though, it's hilarious.

Yup. We are all the banana. In some way, shape, or form.

Probably just taped it there so he wouldn’t lose it.

apparently, a starving artist has eaten the banana ROFL

PM billay

gotta be some kind of scam, money laundering or something. Nobody is hanging that on their wall, it's gonna rot for goodness sakes.

What's next, Shit in a Box for $150,000?

Pics?

I don’t understand artist.

This sounding more and more like a scam or publicity stunt.

Anyone remember from a while back where the chick dropped paint balls or some shit out of her vagina and called it art?

Pics or GTFO
