Banana duct-taped to a wall sells for $120,000. Opinions?

Oh I've seen this- it's utter bullshit😂🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️

What are they gonna do when it rots away? And what about when it stinks of rotting? Will that be art as well?😂😂🤦🏾‍♀️

On a serious note it's pathetic. You've got kids who are going hungry all over the world living in poverty and starving- and then you have overprivileged idiots wasting $120,000 on a banana taped to a wall.

That money could have fed a bunch of hungry people, or given homeless people a roof over their heads- my point is it could have easily helped the poor, but instead it was wasted.

it is interesting that i got this today because i actually went to an art museum today. there are a number of things that are considered modern art nowadays. i saw a shovel anding from the ceiling today and it was art. art is not just drawing or painting on a canvas. although i do not fully understand this form of art it is not my business to argue anything

As a real artist who actually paints and writes quality work that I put a lot of effort and work into, people like this piss me off so fucking much.

I put a lot of passion and work into my poetry, writing and painting to create actual works of art and when I see crap like this and I see that people actually consider this art, it makes sick to my stomach.

That's not art, that's garbage and it belongs in a dumpster.

This is a painting, this is art


A banana taped to a wall is not.

Im convinced the “artist” paid someone to “pay him” 120k for the nanner because thats they only way onlookers will assess some mysterious value to it and see depth and art when there is none. Same can be said about dating when you see an ugly dude with a hot girl suddenly the ugly dude looks attractive. Herd mentalityz

Shortest opinion I've probably ever written on this site - Wish I had thought of it.

[Flower7]

I don't understand why that's considered art first of all, regardless of the price.

[wankiam]

i love the way some guy pulled it off the wall and ate it saying that his actions were also art

Who the fuck killed modern art? Why is main stream art less about making art that inspires and awes and more about politics and competitive lump of shit making. What a giant waste of potential...

[andreasderjuengere]

Bad bargain. Soon we'll see copies - made in China - for $ 1,200 only. Wait for it.

What I want to know is, why did he need to do two proofs before getting it right?

[DorkVader]

I wonder what my Paint Nite Penguin will go for?

I once pooped in a bag, placed it on my neighbors doorstep, lit the bag on fire, rang the doorbell and ran away.

wheres my $150,000?

[clampfan101]

That’s like bringing a portal machine to a science fair and loosing to a baking soda volcano. rofl I refuse to believe that.

[Hannajenky]

This really is good art, look how angry everyone gets about it.

[Unit1]

Time to duct tape bananas on my wall and make profit. Gold diggers will be all over my place.

[mistixs]

Men talk about how men make up the world's greatest artists, but when stuff like this counts as art, I'm not sure how much of an accomplishment that even is.

[DiscomfortZone]

Nothing but another nail in the coffin of what used to be art.

[cice411]

Modern art is bullshit, but please someone make it look worse by defending this filth

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

If this doesn't prove humans are stupid then what will?

[BestUserName100]

Makes me furious because they waste their money on that crap while I’m broke as hell. It hurts.. Good one..

[Xyline789]

That has to be a joke. I don't believe that's a real story.

[Jjpayne]

That's amazing art worth every penny :) I wonder how much it cost him to make it
