Cattelan’s $6.24M Banana Devoured Again: French Museum Visitor Eats Wall Art

Unlike previous banana-consuming incidents in Miami and Seoul, this French gallery-goer left tape and peel untouched, disappointing Cattelan, who’d hoped for a more avant-garde digestive performance. Trending queries ask: how often is Cattelan’s banana replaced? What happens to eaten art? The gallery dryly reported, “For now, it is perhaps the ‘most-eaten’ artwork of the last 30 years.”
