The taped banana - now perhaps one of the most expensive fruits ever sold - was actually bought earlier in the day for a mere $0.35, according to the New York Times.

It’s really just one of a limited number of licenses which allows the owner of the license to showcase the work and legally regard it as an official work from the artist who first came up with the idea. Anyone can tape a banana to a wall, but only a few can do so and say that it’s an ‘original’.
Do this as an institution you’ll get nuked in court.
Do this as an individual nobody will pay to see it.
The more you complain the more it’s worth.
People pay money to see it because it’s controversial.
That’s why it’s art.
I don’t know if I can trust the license. Any way to make it burn a ton of electricity to function?
