If you duct-tape a banana to a wall at a posh art gallery and slap a title on it, is it really art?
For the collector who paid an eye-popping $120,000 last week for an Art Basel installation depicting just that, the answer is yes.
How about if you pull that pricey piece of fruit off the wall, peel it and eat it in front of a crowd of confused onlookers? Does that count as art, too?
Definitely, according to David Datuna, a New York-based performance artist who put his own, apparently unauthorized, spin on the installation that became a viral sensation after it went up at Galerie Perrotin in Miami Beach last week.
