Duct-taped banana sells for US$6.2M at art auction

  • Maurizio Cattelan's artwork of a banana duct-taped to a wall sold for $6.2 million at Sotheby's in New York, exceeding estimates by four times.
  • The banana was bought earlier for only $0.35 and can be replaced when it rots, according to the New York Times.
  • Cattelan's work challenges art definitions, as "Comedian" relies on perception and context for value, rather than intrinsic qualities.
