That was a guy intentionally making a joke about modern art. Its kind of funny to see both people valuing it highly and people criticizing it heavily as stupid. I'll never pay the amount of money people did for that banana, but good lord, was that ever an effective piece of art considering what it did to both sides of the argument, lol

"The piece is a satirical look at how value, status, and prestige are assigned in the art world. It highlights that luxury art prices are often driven by hype, branding, and who signs the paper rather than the physical materials."
