You\u2019ve likely seen the news about the now infamous event that took place at Art Basel Miami this past weekend. It was at Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan<\/a>\u2019s exhibit entitled \u201cComedian\u201d where the bite heard \u2018round the world was taken \u2014 in fact, probably the most expensive bite the art world has ever seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cattelan\u2019s work, showcasing a banana duct-taped to a wall<\/a>, was valued at an astounding $120,000. Stunned viewers watched as self-proclaimed \u201cperformance artist\u201d David Datuna<\/a> approached the piece, tore it off the wall, and ate it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether intended as a statement on the art world or simply an act of pure absurdity, we took inspiration from the viral event and curated the gallery below. Check it out to find something you might just want to peel through and enjoy. Stay hungry, art lovers!<\/p>\n\n\n
