It became known that at the auction sold for 6.2 million dollars a banana, glued with tape to the wall. About it, writes The New York Times.
Initially, Sotheby’s expected to sell the installation of Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan for 1.5 million dollars.
The work comes to the buyer with a certificate of authenticity and instructions on how to replace the banana when it rots.
The buyer of the banana was Chinese crypto entrepreneur and art collector Justin Sun.

An entrepreneur from China called the installation a cultural phenomenon, linking the worlds of art, memes and the cryptocurrency community.
He said he plans to eat a banana as part of this unique artistic experience in the near future.
