MIAMI: The move was bananas... or maybe the work was just too appealing. A performance artist shook up the crowd at the Art Basel show in Miami Beach on Sunday when he grabbed a banana that had been duct-taped to a gallery wall and ate it.The banana was, in fact, a work of art by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan titled "Comedian" and sold to a French collector for $120,000.In a video posted on his Instagram account, David Datuna, who describes himself as a Georgian-born American artist living in New York, walks up to the banana and pulls it off the wall with the duct tape attached."Art performance ... hungry artist," he said, as he peeled the fruit and took a bite. "Thank you, very good."
