The most expensive banana in the world refers to Comedian, a conceptual artwork by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan. It consists of a real banana duct-taped to a wall and sold at a Sotheby’s auction in November 2024 for $6.2 million. Initially displayed at Art Basel Miami Beach in 2019, the piece was intended as a commentary on consumerism and the nature of art. The buyer received the banana, a roll of duct tape, instructions for replacing the fruit once it decays, and a certificate of authenticity.
