Cattelan’s ‘Comedian’ banana eaten again at a museum in Metz.
22 July 2025
A banana duct-taped to a museum wall – ‘Comedian’, a conceptual artwork by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan – has once again been eaten by a visitor.
The gallery didn’t seem especially bothered. “The artwork was reinstalled a few minutes later,” it said, adding that the banana is a perishable item and is “regularly replaced according to instructions from the artist.”
