Esto si que es para menear el culo hasta salir volando. Han pagado 6,2 millones de dólares por esta «obra de arte». La «obra» se titula Comedian y no es más que una banana pegada a la pared con una cinta adhesiva. El que la ha comparado por esos 6,2 millones de dólares (5,8 millones de euros), se lleva la banana, la cinta y un certificado de autenticidad, reconociendo que la banana la tiene que ir cambiando cada siete días. La banana, digo la obra Comedian se subasto en Sotheby’s de Nueva York.
Sotheby’s ha dicho que el coleccionista se quiere identificar, es un tal Justin Sun, que a la vez quisiera decir: «Esto no es solo una obra de arte; representa un fenómeno cultural , un puente entre los mundos del arte, los memes y la comunidad cripto«.
Yo diría que es otra cosa, ¿Y tú?

This is definitely something to shake your butt until you fly away (Spanish saying but that does not translate too well 😁). Someone paid 6.2 million dollars for this «work of art.» The «work» is titled Comedian and is nothing more than a banana taped to the wall. The person who bought it for those 6.2 million dollars (5.8 million euros) gets the banana, the tape, and a certificate of authenticity, acknowledging that the banana must be replaced every seven days. The banana, I mean the work Comedian, was auctioned at Sotheby’s in New York.
Sotheby’s has said that the collector wants to identify himself; he’s a certain Justin Sun, who also wants to say: «This is not just a work of art; it represents a cultural phenomenon, a bridge between the worlds of art, memes, and the crypto community.»
I would say it’s something else. What about you?

Haha! I saw so many things like this in the Baltic States art museums. I do not know what on earth is going on with people.

While obviously I think this is silly, I will stand by that the avant-garde is extremely important for pushing the boundaries of what we consider art. Although sometimes it’s obviously a big swing and a miss lol

I love conceptual art but $6 million would feed a lot on the poverty line that can’t even afford to buy a ‘standard’ banana 🙄

And that is a very good point. Values are certainly skewed in this world… Thank you!

Thank you for participating in the conversation. That is the most important thing, to keep the conversation about art alive and going. My job/function is to inform. It is a pleasure.

Reckon I might give 25 cents for this. That’s what Trader Joe’s (super mercado) charges for a ripe banana. Not uno mas centavo. Artists can be such scammers. «Experts» such idiots.

Conceptual artists are the scammers (mostly) and experts! Good grief! Experts! I’ve no place for them nor time for them. And you are bang on right my friend!

6.2 millions, but you can’t eat the gray adhesive tape.

If you leave it on the wall too long you cannot even eat the banana 🍌🤣
