The famous banana artwork by Maurizio Cattelan (Comedian) was sold for $6.24 million at Sotheby's in New York.
What makes this piece unique is that it is a real banana taped to the wall, destined to rot over time.
In this auction, there were six bidders competing, and the intense bidding lasted for five minutes.
Finally won by Tron founder Justin Sun.
After winning the bid, Justin Sun stated that this is not just an artwork, but a cultural phenomenon that connects the art, meme, and cryptocurrency communities.
And he plans to eat the banana in the coming days to 'respect its place in art history and pop culture.'
Justin Sun founded the blockchain platform Tron in 2017.
In December 2021, he resigned as CEO of the Tron Foundation, claiming he had transferred control of the project to the non-profit decentralized autonomous organization Tron DAO.
