When Art Becomes A Victim, Rotten Banana Becomes Viral

This is a shocking reality. What?

A decomposing Banana sold for 6.2 million Dollars in the name of Art!

You hear it right. It happened in Italy recently. The Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan taped a banana to a wall and sold it as a masterpiece of Art in an auction at Sotheby's, New York on 20/11/2024. And, it was bought by the Crypto Currency founder Justin Sun who later ate it during a press conference in Hong Kong on 29/11/2024.

What could be more disgraceful than this? A real artist spends his whole life drawing and painting artistry and could hardly earn some thousand dollars during his lifespan. Is this not a blow on their backs?

I am very sorry.

Here is the link to the article that reveals this shocking news. (It was a shocking news for me, a true son of an artist. May be not for others.)
