“Comedian” was first unveiled to the public in 2019, instantly becoming a viral sensation and also provoking heated debates about what art is.
The installation – which has travelled around the world – comes with instructions on how to replace the banana whenever it rots.
In fact, the fruit has been eaten not once, but twice.
The museum later placed a new banana in the same spot, local media reported.
Four years earlier, a performance artist pulled the banana from the wall after the artwork was sold for $120,000 at Art Basel in Miami.
The banana was swiftly replaced, and no further action was taken.
