Yonhap News quoted foreign media as "an artist who ate a Banana" artwork sold for $ 120,000 at the international art market 'Art Basel Miami'.

According to a British daily guardian on Sunday, David Datuna, an acting artist based in New York, ate "Comedian" by Mauritius Cattell, an Italian artist.

The work, which was on display at Art Basel Miami's overseas gallery, Perrotang, was posted on the wall with a banana duct tape, which was sold for $ 120,000 last week.

Galloest Emmanuel Ferrotang, who founded Ferro Tang, commented on CNN as "a symbol of world trade, a double entendre, and a classic humor device."

'Comedian' using real bananas can't last as long as other works.

Because the bananas will continue to ripen and someday decay.

So buyers buy the certificate of authenticity that comes with the work, not the work itself.

Lucien Terrace, director of the Perotang, emphasized to the local media that "Datuna did not destroy his work," and "Banana thought."

The ferrotang side put a new banana on the wall where the work was hanging, just a few minutes after Datuna ate the banana.

In addition to the comedians, Catellan is known for producing many laughter-inspiring works.

In September, he opened an exhibition at Blenheim Palace in England with the theme 'Winning is not an option' to reveal the 'America' toilet made of 18K gold.

The work, known to be worth about £ 4.8 million, was stolen on the second day of the exhibition and has not been found.
