Someone Ate the $150,000 Banana Taped to a Wall at Art Basel. Now It’s Gone Again
- Cattelan’s banana tempted buyers and hungry artist, who ate it

An infamous $150,000 banana duct-taped to a wall has disappeared again -- this time because it was becoming an unsafe distraction.
“We sincerely apologize to all the visitors of the fair who today will not be able to participate in Comedian,” Galerie Perrotin, where the work was being showcased, said in a statement Sunday, the last day of the exhibition.
