Its all fun and games until a conceptual performance artist comes along and eats the concept of a banana.

You might question whether a banana taped to a wall is art in and of itself, but it's definitely art that some rich dumbass wants to buy it for $120,000, and that some guy just ate it instead.

God modern art is such a con, and it's a con perpetuated only by rich people who decide something is art and is thus deemed worthy to hang in some lovely pretentious gallery. Like any one of us could tape a banana to a wall or do something equally as talentless before this guy, the only reason it became worth so much is likely because the artist had connections in the art world so he's deemed as "legit", it's all a high society game of connections. Yes guillotine every art collector but paint the guillotine gold, encrust it with diamonds and call it "Irony".

It seems that poor artist just can't catch a breakquote:(September 14, 2019) Just a few days after it went on view to the public in England, Maurizio Cattelan’s 18-karat golden toilet has gone missing.

Whoever actually paid? Wanted to pay? For this “installation” can get hosed, but the actual “art” makes me laugh. Also if you want to see a bunch of pretentious art-collectors die in brutal ways, I recommend Velvet Buzzsaw on Netflix.

art critic posted:What’s Cattelan up to with this work? In 1999, the artist taped the Italian art dealer Massimo De Carlo to the wall of his art gallery. Twenty years later, he’s reprised the work with a single banana, a loaded symbol if ever there was one. For collectors on the hunt for what used to be called "wall power,” they can buy quite a potent image here. (Let’s not dwell on the castration undertone.)

The guy taped a banana to the wall and called it Comedian and sold multiple installations of it to idiots and even got a laugh when someone ate one of the bananas. Capitalism is art.

Mozi posted:i think this is pretty cool and funny (that a guy ate it, that the artist intended it to be eaten, and that some dumbass tried to buy it) This is the correct take. The first guy and the last guy are smart and cool, the two dudes in the middle who gave the first guy a quarter of a million dollars for two bananas are rubes, and the other guys would not be cool without their involvement.
