Sun Yuchen spent 6.2m USD to buy a banana artwork titled "Comedian" which does not require special preservation,

The main reasons are as follows:

1. Replaceability: The essence of the artwork lies not in the banana itself, but in its concept. According to the artist Maurizio Cattelan's instructions, fresh bananas need to be replaced regularly during the exhibition.

2. Composition of the work:

• A roll of tape

• A banana

• Certificate of authenticity

• Detailed installation instructions

3. Display requirements:

• The banana should be replaced every 7 to 10 days

• It should be adhered at a height of 175 centimeters from the ground

4. Collector's responsibility: The purchaser does not need to take special care of the artwork, just purchase fresh bananas when exhibiting or transferring it.

5. Conceptual art: Sotheby's confirmed that actual materials will be replaced during each installation, as this is a piece of conceptual art.

6. Artist's attitude: When the banana is eaten, Cattelan stated, "It's completely fine."

In summary, the value of this artwork lies not in the physical object itself, but in its concept and creativity. The focus on preservation lies in keeping the certificate and installation instructions, rather than the banana itself. During the exhibition, just follow the instructions to replace the fresh banana.
