Crypto boss eats banana art he bought for $6.2 million

Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun on Friday fulfilled a promise he made after spending $6.2 million on an artwork featuring a banana duct taped to a wall — by eating the fruit. Dozens of journalists and influencers after giving a speech described the work as “positive” and drew parallels between the imaginary. ART AND CRYPTOCURRENCY “This is so much better than other bananas,” Sun said after taking his first taste. “It’s really great.” Titled “The Comedian,” a conceptual work by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan sold at Sotheby’s in New York. Yorke said last week, among seven bidders, with Sun. “It’s got to be something big. Can.” In 10 seconds after that, he decided he would eat a banana. The edible creation sparked controversy at the 2019 Art Basel show in Miami Beach and raised questions about whether it should be considered art —Catalan’s stated goal. And on Friday Sun drew conceptual comparisons from art like “comedians” to NFT art and decentralized blockchain technology. As opposed to the thing,” he said.
