Banana Duct-Taped to a Wall Sells for $120,000 at a Miami Art Show

A banana duct-taped to a wall. Not only is it art, it just sold for $120,000 at a Miami art show.

The installation, called 'Comedian', is the work of Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan, who unveiled it at Art Basel this week. A spokeswoman explained the piece by saying "The banana is many things - a symbol of global trade, a witty double entendre, and a classic device for humor".  

One of Cattelan's previous creations was a solid gold toilet that made headlines last year when it was stolen from a British palace.

How much would you pay for a banana duct-taped to a wall? Is the art world just one big scam?
