Cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun, founder of Tron, made headlines after purchasing Maurizio Cattelan’s artwork Comedian—a banana duct-taped to a wall—for $6.2 million at a Sotheby’s auction in New York.
Sun later revealed his plan to eat the banana, declaring it a symbolic act that bridges art, memes, and the crypto community.
The artwork, initially priced at $120,000 during its debut at Art Basel Miami in 2019, has sparked ongoing debates about the definition and value of modern art.
Sun described the banana as a cultural phenomenon and claimed it represented an intersection of art and cryptocurrency culture.
