The winning bidder of Maurizio Cattelan’s famed banana duct-taped to a wall installation immediately pulled it off the wall and ate it. This isn't the first time this has happened.

A Chinese-born cryptocurrency entrepreneur has followed through on his promise to eat the banana from a $6.2m (£4.9m) artwork he bought last week. Justin Sun outbid six others to claim Maurizio Cattelan's infamous 2019 work Comedian - a banana duct-taped to a wall - at Sotheby's auction house in New York.

If you thought the first price tag on Maurizio Cattelan’s viral banana duct-taped to a wall installation was obscene. This one might make you go bananas.
