This is a reflexion I made to a friend yesterday: the banana doesn't improve the state of art over Duchamp's Fountain. The real artist, in this case, is the guy who paid 6 millions to eat the banana !

The guy that bought it is not an artist, he was just trying to distract from some good-old-fashioned corruption: https://popular.info/p/a-chinese-national-charged-with-fraud

Based on the coverage of his purchase it seems like he succeeded.

A con artist is a kind of artist, right?

They are artists all the way down.

Now someone must eat the artist who ate the banana, for several million dollars.
