A South Korean art student ate a banana that was part of an installation by artist Maurizio Cattelan, saying he was "hungry" after skipping breakfast. The artwork called "Comedian", part of Cattelan's's exhibition "WE", consisted of a ripe banana duct-taped to a wall at Seoul's Leeum Musuem of Art.The museum later placed a new banana at the same spot, reported local media.The Leeum Musuem of Art did not respond to an email inquiry by the BBC. However, it told media that it will not claim damages against the student.
In 2019, performance artist David Datuna pulled the banana from the wall after the artwork was sold for $120,000 at Art Basel in Miami.
