Maurizio Cattelan: Banana artwork eaten by Seoul museum visitor

BBC News

A South Korean art student ate a banana that was part of an installation by artist Maurizio Cattelan, saying he was "hungry" after skipping breakfast.

"The artwork called "Comedian", part of Cattelan's's exhibition "WE", consisted of a ripe banana duct-taped to a wall at Seoul's Leeum Musuem of Art.

After eating the banana, the student, Noh Huyn-soo, taped the peel to the wall.

The museum later placed a new banana at the same spot, reported local media.

All of it, surely not. The Dutch masters, Constable, Faberger ?

I do a little watercolour and have dabbled in silver smithing and enameling in my retirement, blue whale, below.

It's good for the soul.

The OP is a cracker though !!
