Justin Sun, paid $6.2 million for Maurizio Cattelan’s controversial artwork, Comedian a banana duct taped to a wall.
Sun sees it as a cultural bridge between art, memes, and crypto. The piece includes a certificate of authenticity and instructions, but not the banana, which needs replacing.
Sun plans to eat it as part of the art experience. The sale, accepted in crypto, underscores its growing role in high end art transactions, marking a new chapter in the fusion of art and digital culture.
