M/S Performance artist David Datuna eats banana duct-taped to wall worth $120,000 (€108,500), Miami
SCRIPT
A performance artist ate a banana duct-taped to a wall - which sold earlier this week for $120,000 (€108,500) - at Miami's Art Basel on Saturday.
David Datuna strode up to the controversial artwork, took it off the wall, peeled its outer layers and proceeded to eat it.
His actions were filmed by a crowd of onlookers before he was escorted away by Perrotin New York Director Peggy Lebeouf.
The piece - called 'The Comedian' - was created by Maurizio Cattelan, an Italian artist best known for creating 'America', an 18-carat-gold toilet. That crap was stolen from the UK's Blenheim Palace over the summer.
The banana has sparked debate about commercialisation of objects in the art world.
