Swallowing $6.2 million in one gulp! Justin Sun's "sky-high banana show" shocked the entire Internet
In the luxurious lobby of the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong, under the spotlight, everyone waited with bated breath for a strange moment: Justin Sun, the big boss of the cryptocurrency world, was about to eat a banana "worth" $6.2 million.
This banana is not some magical fruit, but one of the most absurd works in the history of contemporary art - Maurizio Cattelan's (Comedian).
The legend of a banana
Back in 2019, this work caused quite a stir when it was first shown at the Miami Art Basel. Cattelan taped an ordinary banana to the wall with silver tape, but the price was marked at $120,000 to $150,000. Some people called it a mockery of the art market bubble, while others thought it was just a huge joke.
