Someone ate the banana art again in France

At a museum in Metz, a visitor took a bite out of the famous “Comedian” installation by Maurizio Cattelan — a banana duct-taped to the wall.

Staff quickly replaced the fruit, as the artist had recommended always keeping spares. Cattelan simply commented that the visitor “confused food with art.”

It’s not the first time the banana has been eaten — it happened at least twice before: once by a U.S. performance artist, and once by a crypto millionaire who had purchased the piece for €6.2 million.
