A piece of art worth $120,000 by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan — a banana stuck to a wall with tape — has been eaten by a different artist. New York-based performance artist David Datuna peeled Comedian (2019) off the wall at Art Basel Miami Beach on Saturday and ate it in front of a crowd.

"Gallery owner Emmanuel Perrotin was about to head to the airport when he heard that the banana was eaten. He darted to the space, clearly upset. A fair goer tried to cheer him up and handed him his own banana. Perrotin and a gallery assistant re-adhered the borrowed banana to the wall just after 2 p.m." — Miami Herald
