Didn’t someone pull it off and eat the banana last year? It was in a exhibition for awhile.
Found the old link from 2019 https://www.cnn.com/style/article/banana-artwork-eaten-scli-intl/index.html
Anyhow some one with too much money just bought it for 6.24 million.
It’s worth noting 6.2 million could change the lives of 40 disadvantaged students. Allocating 155k each to attend college. A state university education without debt can be significantly life changing for each student and possibly break generational poverty for the family.
Or you can buy a canvas with a banana taped to it. You can never predict how rich people will spend their money.

I thought there was a previous thread.
Maybe a different banana? 
It’s a perishable object.
The proverb A fool and his money are soon parted goes back to the 16th century.

[quote]
The notion was known by the late 16th century, when it was expressed in rhyme by Thomas Tusser in Five Hundred Pointes of Good Husbandrie, 1573:
A foole & his money,
be soone at debate:
which after with sorow,
repents him to late.
The precise wording of the expression comes just a little later, in Dr. John Bridges’ Defence of the Government of the Church of England, 1587:
If they pay a penie or two pence more for the reddinesse of them… let them looke to that, a foole and his money is soone parted.
