When a banana that was duct taped to a wall sold for $120,000 at Art Basel in Miami Beach, Florida, not everyone understood the artistic inspiration behind the piece.
But one hungry artist did.
David Datuna, an installation and performance artist from Georgia, peeled off the art piece from the wall and ate it while hundreds of stunned onlookers watched.

There may be collusion between the banana artist and and the comedian who ate the banana methinks.
The banana could be traced to Russia! Where’s Rachel Madcow when we need her!
@RAM1 lol
Lucky it wasn’t an apple would of cost him 1.2mil
Yeah that would make sense.

This has to be a joke, right!
Sadly, it isn’t a joke.

It’s a little bit of a troll, yeah but… It’s harmless
The artists are both trolling the art world. The one who taped the banana to the wall is called an art prankster. The one who ate it is a performance artist.
Official✔CNN so you agree fox is fake and a racist intuition?
This whole story is bananas 🍌
Just like us, fak3 banana newzzz
It’s his contribution to try stopping the world from going totally bananas.
Feeble
😅
Tomorrow NEWS: the artist is auctioning off his shiiit …for $ 200,000
Yeah, that’s what I am thinking. Lol
Lol🤣🤣
maz yas that’s to low let’s go for 2 trillion
This is not art at all. This is a redundant waste of time and money
@Jo Li We do, I decide if somethings art imo it is, might not to someone else which is fine. We dont all have to agree what is art, life’s too short.
@buddy guy yes?
@olrik parlez ya and here is some art from the other side of politics. i think i will stick with the banana https://graziadaily.co.uk/celebrity/news/artist-paints-donald-trump-menstrual-blood/
Money laundering 😎
That’s good. All the Mafia types are going to have these all through their homes 🙂
I’d give him 5 Bucks to see him eat the tape.
ok, that was funny
If i had all the money in world. I would not pay more than $1.
I wouldn’t pay 1 cent
Bananas only about 55 cents a pound here.
ryan4646 I wouldn’t pay a price of lint for it xD
ryan4646 I wouldn’t pay a piece of lint for it xD
$0.29 a pound at Walmart. Even $1 is overpriced.
This segment proved to me: We need to tax the rich more
@Mick Swagger they don’t spend the money nearly as much as they need to in order to be worthwhile, and worse most of their money goes to bribing the goverment into funneling more money back at them!
You dont want the US rich.
@Don donny people don’t get it.. it’s the middle class that’s holding this country up. But keep shitting on them and we will be back to where we were 10 years ago…… meh.
Trash
Or just charge them more for food since they’re willing to pay for it. $15 million for a steak, $25 million for a bottle of wine, etc.
WombatsinCombat – You don’t get out much do you?
Given enough time and money, the artists might be able to recreate the piece.
No, it was a one of a kind 🙁
$1 banna $5 duct tape = $6 call it art and sell it for $120,000
A lot of people don’t realize that fine art is basically just a way rich people laundry dirty money
STEP 1: Be an idiot
STEP 2: Find a banana
STEP 3: Duck tape it to a canvas
STEP 4: ???
STEP 5: Profit?!?!
STEP 6: EAT THE PROFIT
STEP 4: Eat the Banana Then no STEP5: ?I am over thinking this right?
@Rusty Kampf well I meant step 4 is the “how” part of getting the banana to be worth so much money. Its the part that separates this banana from the rest of the $0.14 bananas
“So why did you it?”
“First of all because i was hungry…” Give that man some thug life shades 😎
Our western society is coming undone so fast.
This how a person can make anything a art if hes famous.
People are starving to death. Imagine feeling so little shame that you would pay for this
Exactly
I’m trying to imagine not feeling shame for that. I can’t, I feel ashamed just trying.
IT DIDNT GO TO WASTE, HE ATE IT
This is what a civilization in decline looks like.
Over It he thinks Trump is cool.
you say that like 2016 didn’t happen
@ Over It …Yes the decline accelerated when the orange shitstain was selected for office, it’s just gotten progressively worse from there.
Over It of course there always has to be some idiot blaming orange man, and not accepting personal responsibility
I do question the intelligence of some people with “ money”
It’s sounds like a brilliant way to launder money.
It’s worth nothing at it moves around, yet to the right person it’s worth 120,000. This is the financial divides that we live among.
