Duct-taped banana could fetch $1.5M at Sotheby's fall art sales

Sotheby’s preview of their autumn art sales in New York City on Nov. 8, 2024 offers an atypical sight -- a banana duct-taped to a wall. The conceptual piece, titled 'Comedian,' by Maurizio Cattelan, debuted in 2019 at Art Basel in Miami and became a viral sensation. Sotheby’s Lucius Elliott, head of Contemporary and The Now Evening auctions, estimates it will sell for $1 million to $1.5 million when it goes under the hammer on Nov. 20.
