Art Basel: Maurizio Cattelan's $120,000 banana eaten by artist
An artwork of an overripe banana duct-taped to a wall that sold for $120,000 (£91,000) has been eaten by a separate performance artist.
The artwork, titled Comedian, by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan , was on display at The International gallery Perrotin at Art Basel in Miami.
Three buyers bought the limited-edition pieces of the banana art This Week .
But performance artist David Datuna pulled it from The Wall , peeled it and devoured it on Saturday.
"Art performance by me. I love Maurizio Cattelan artwork and I really love this installation. It's very delicious," Mr Datuna posted on Instagram .
A banana is eaten by a selfie-taker (not THE banana)Despite the initial anger of a member of staff, the banana was swiftly replaced and no further action will be taken.
The art reportedly comes with a certificate of authenticity, meaning owners can replace the banana.
"[Datuna] did not destroy the art work. The banana is the idea," Lucien Terras, a director at The Gallery , told the Miami Herald .
Police were later deployed to guard The Replacement banana.
Art Basel is one of The World 's most high-profile Contemporary Art fairs.
