Duct-taped banana sells for $6.2 million at art auction

I got a banana and duct tape butt not sure why why some dude with the intelligence to gain over 5 million should not be smart enough to pop to the loca al store and purchase a anana and ducttape for less than 10 dollers. Even if they paid the village idiot 20 dollers to run fo the store it would not cost too much unless they lived outside florida and trump was out of town fhey could do it right?

And to think I spent my adult life working in machine shops, building railcars, ocean going barges, a tour in the military....when all I needed was a banana and duct tape to solve all my financial woes.

RIDICULOUS

RIDICULOUS

This is the symbol of a society in decline.

I feel sorry for people who believe this is art.

The owner has to replace the Banana and Tape regularly. The most ridiculous art sale of all time. Paying $6 million for a idea and concept, that YOU have to maintain and replace.

This is an insult and mockery to all poor people on the planet including myself

Money laundering in plain sight... lovely.

Also, if anyone is still struggling to figure out why this is so crazy awesome - do yourselves a favor and google his artwork titled L.O.V.E.
The fact that it’s idiotic IS THE POINT.
Please research his other insulting pieces before you comment, for Pete’s sake.

Money that could have been donated to a children's hospital! Or to a woman's shelter!

EXACTLY. THIS IS CURUPTION AT IT'S BEST AND EVERYBODY KNOW IT. YOU SEE WHAT RICH PEOPLE GET TO DO WITH NO CONSEQUENCES

Banana 🍌 brains

Love how the Artist made the duct tape uncut, it is hand torn.. it's worth it because it is all done by the Artist's hands.

This has to be Saturday night live!!!!😂😂😂

The bottom is reached. It is official.

How is it a banana got 6 million but the portrait of Jesus by a kid got nothing

I have both items on my counter top.

I wear you can get away with "art"

You have to be an imbecile to pay that amount….

I can hear the cheering and applause of the closing bid from war-torn countries with starving children as I watch.

what happen if the banana gets withered? will the value increase because is aged?

This people dont live in the same world as the rest of us

Sotherby and Christy auctions house is MONEY LAUNDERING go to place

How many of the struggling & starving people could you have helped in your own country of China Mr Sun? All participants in this entire ordeal should be ashamed of themselves.

We live in a fk’d up world.

Now i know how to become rich...i got an idea ...just tape any fruit of your choice on a blank wall 🤔🤔🤔 I'm thinking of a red one apple taped on a black wall 😅😅 what do you think people 😅😅😅 excellent idea😅😅😅😅😅

Money lundring

This idea of banana art is borrowed from the Netfilx season titled Decoupled.

If you Want to Talk About Real Art Look at Bob Ross's Paintings! That's Art.

If this isn't money laundering I don't know what is.

Well, Artists are not paid for their labor but for their vision, at least according to James Whistler

One foolish idiot buys a banana for $5.2 million dollars. Sotheby’s the only prat that’s happiest of all…I hope the money all goes to the children in Gaza who’s in most need of food and water. And his banana can rot away if he doesn’t eat it…

A monkey wouldn’t even pay that much for it.

Sick !! So sick !!

And people Wanna complain about the price of eggs??🤦‍♂️

Beware the banana.

I sold my banana to myself for $20 million.

Respect for Majnu bhai..🫡

I don't get it at all

and I can't transfer 15$ abroad for money laundry readon 😂

When it rots?

This was sold for $120k 4years ago i think.

Money laundry or banana laundry?!

Crazy. Who is the idiot who bought it?

It Reminds Me Of The Russian Star Just Turned The Other Direction

Okay wheres thano's gauntlet...

Anyone notice lately how long It takes for a bananas to ripen? The process of ripening seemed to have slowed. I woke up early this morning thinking about this banana purchase and I came to the same Hypothetical conclusion many of you expressed. Hypothetical thought: Money laundering. In addition, it could be seen as a nod to something more sinister...what's being done to our food supply. Or is this how China is able to purchase land in the US? The art is in the scheme...the long game. This is just my interpretation of the art set before me. In no way am I suggesting that anyone would so openly attempt these things.

The idiots that bought the cryptocurrency just let their $6.2m money evaporate on this banana. All cryptocurrency should be banned, they are all nothing more than a fraud. They are all scam against the last bagholder.
