Cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun purchased Maurizio Cattelan's viral artwork "Comedian" for $6.2 million at a Sotheby's auction in New York City. The artwork features a banana duct-taped to a wall. Sun paid for the piece using cryptocurrency and plans to eat the banana as part of what he described as a unique artistic experience. The purchase includes duct tape, installation instructions, and a certificate of authenticity that allows the buyer to recreate the artwork. Sotheby’s stated the certificate determines the value by confirming the recreated piece as Cattelan's original work.
