A banana duct tape to a wall sold for $6.2 million dollars. Purchased by a cryptocurrency entrepreneur who says he will eat it.

Not sure who got the bum deal the person selling the “art” or the paying for it with digital “money”…

Be interesting to see the link between the buyer and seller, this is so blatantly a case of fraud it's unreal.

This kind of nonsense gives art a bad name

I’ve just sellotaped a peanut to my laptop lid.

Who’s gonna start the bidding?

That's got to be worth £7 million at the very least. It's nuts.

I been told a taped orange would have fetched a lot more!

Isn't this think 5+ years old? How often do they replace the banana? Do they replace the tape too?

Is this triggers banana?

Oh I should read

The taped banana - now perhaps one of the most expensive fruits ever sold - was actually bought earlier in the day for a mere $0.35, according to the New York Times.

In fact, the fruit has been eaten not once, but twice.

In 2023, a South Korean art student helped himself when the installation went on display at Seoul's Leeum Museum of Art.
