The banana displayed at Sotheby\u2019s was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/20\/arts\/design\/cattelan-banana-sothebys-auction.html\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">reportedly purchased<\/a> for 35c earlier that day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-106f06m\">Jen Hua from Sotheby\u2019s China office placed the winning bid on behalf of Chinese-born crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun, who will pay US$6.24m including the buyer\u2019s premium.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-106f06m\">In return, Sun will receive a banana and a roll of duct tape, as well as a certificate of authenticity and instructions on how to install the work \u2013 including how to replace the banana, should they want to.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-106f06m\">\u201cThis is not just an artwork, it represents a cultural phenomenon that bridges the worlds of art, memes, and the cryptocurrency community,\u201d Sun said in a statement to Sotheby\u2019s. \u201cI believe this piece will inspire more thought and discussion in the future and will become a part of history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-106f06m\">Sun said he plans to eat the banana, as a way of \u201chonouring its place in both art history and popular culture\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-106f06m\">Described by the auctioneer as a \u201cviral sensation\u201d, Comedian debuted at Art Basel Miami fair in 2019 as an edition of three, where its US$120,000 price tag made <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/artanddesign\/2019\/dec\/06\/maurizio-cattelan-banana-duct-tape-comedian-art-basel-miami\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">headlines worldwide<\/a> and prompted debates about the nature and value of art.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-106f06m\">It subsequently went viral when New York performance artist David Datuna <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/artanddesign\/2019\/dec\/08\/banana-artwork-that-fetched-120000-is-eaten-by-hungry-artist\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">removed and ate<\/a> the banana, which was then replaced<strong>. <\/strong>This spawned a copycat stunt in May 2023, in which a South Korean art student removed and ate the banana from an edition of Comedian on display in Seoul.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"4c86a75f-6f9a-43d2-96b9-59246e725e06\" data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.YoutubeBlockElement\" class=\"
