An artwork of an overripe banana duct-taped to a wall that sold for $120,000 (£91,000) has been eaten by a separate performance artist.

The artwork, titled Comedian, by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, was on display at the international gallery Perrotin at Art Basel in Miami.

Three buyers bought the limited-edition pieces of the banana art this week.

But performance artist David Datuna pulled it from the wall, peeled it and devoured it on Saturday.

"Art performance by me. I love Maurizio Cattelan artwork and I really love this installation. It's very delicious," Mr Datuna posted on Instagram.

Fortunately I have a spare banana that I can offer them at a substantial discount, duct tape is free.

Police were later deployed to guard the replacement banana.

It was quite asinine, IMO.  A picture of an eggplant that had grown into an interesting shape.  Totally natural.  PC stupidity at its peak.

I always liked Psychotria elata, aka "hooker's lips":

Is that not misogynistic?

Jesus Christ, you should report yourself ASAP!!

Looks a lot like one of the mods' user pics, so maybe he should report himself first. :P

The other name I've heard is "Jagger's Lips." But one can be a hooker and be a male, or another gender. It isn't necessarily misogynistic.

Hmmm missed the y, yes rich but I focused more on his obviously unacceptable traits. Surprised you did not mention his penchant for ladies generations younger.
