Art goes ‘Banana’: ‘Comedian’ painting could fetch $1.5 million

Maurizio Cattelan’s provocative art piece ‘Comedian’, a banana duct-taped to a wall, will be auctioned by Sotheby’s in New York City. The buyer receives a certificate of authenticity and instructions, not the original banana. The artwork, which evoked intense debates since its 2019 debut, could fetch $1.5 million.
