Big news! Sun Yuchen really ate that banana worth over 6 million dollars!
That's right, on November 29, at the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong, Sun Yuchen did something that shocked everyone—he live-streamed himself eating an art piece banana that he bought for 6.24 million dollars at a Sotheby’s auction! This banana is not an ordinary item; it is the work of artist Maurizio Cattelan titled "Comedian," which is just a banana and some duct tape, resulting in a priceless artwork.
In the live stream, Sun Yuchen said that he was curious about this piece from the very beginning, nervous as hell during the auction, and ultimately decided to eat the banana, making the whole process feel like acting in a movie. He believes that this banana is not just a piece of art; it is also a link connecting the worlds of art, memes, and cryptocurrency, encouraging everyone to think and talk more about it.
This "Comedian" first appeared at an art exhibition in Miami in 2019, with a total of three versions, one of which was taken by the Guggenheim Museum in New York. Each piece comes with a certificate of authenticity, and collectors can swap for a new banana if they wish.
To be honest, from Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain" to this "Comedian," art has always loved to challenge old rules and boundaries. Sun Yuchen's act of eating it is like a divine assist to the current internet meme culture, using communication to make art popular and adding value to the piece through action. This grand art drama will surely be remembered by people in the future!
