Recently, a South Korean art student created a controversy after he ate the banana from Maurizio Cattelan’s work “Comedian” which was exhibited in Leeum Museum in Seoul. It is a sculpture of a banana taped to a wall, which brought the artist fame when it was sold for $120,000 at Art Basel in 2019. Once the student had eaten the pulp, he or she taped the peel back onto the wall, and in return the museum Certified that they shall replace the peel with another banana. This isn’t the first time the artwork was interrupted; back at the Art Basel in 2019, performance artist David Datuna ate the banana, he declared it as art performance. The work of Cattelan has raised issues about conceptual art and humor but also raised the specie’s controversy over copyright laws in the global trade symbol. On the other hand, Cattelan’s $6 million dollars solid gold TODD “America” was stolen in 2019, and the piece has yet to be recovered. Banana.
