Ah yes, *Comedian*—the pinnacle of modern artistic genius. A banana. Taped to a wall. Groundbreaking stuff. The secret to artistic immortality was just a roll of duct tape and a quick trip to the produce aisle? Bravo, Cattelan, bravo. Truly, the art world knows no bounds, especially when it comes to absurdity.
This “masterpiece,” which sold for an absurd sum of money, doesn’t just hang on a wall—it holds up a mirror to society (or so we’re told). Is it about consumerism? The fleeting nature of life? The fragility of our sanity as we watch wealthy collectors bid on literal fruit? Who knows! That’s the beauty of it. It can mean whatever you want it to mean—conveniently translating to, “We’ll slap a price tag on anything as long as it’s pretentious enough.”
Let’s duct-tape the line between “high art” and “hilarious nonsense” and call it a day.
