The regular/long term readers among you might recall a post about an artist who made a golden toilet which was on exhibit (as a toilet) at the Guggenheim. Though I didn't know it at the time it was meant as a dig on trump as specified by the curator at the museum who says trump is synonymous with golden toilets. Fast forward to earlier this week...the same artist sold a piece named "The Comedian" at a gallery in Florida for $120,000 and a second edition of the same piece is expected to sell for $150,000,the catch is the artwork consists of a banana duct taped to the wall. Assuming it is a real banana it wouldn't be a long lived art piece and would also draw fruit flies,but hey the guy has a market!
