Justin Sun eats $6.2m dollar Cattelan banana art work in Hong Kong event

Tron creator Justin Sun has reportedly eaten the $6.2 million banana from Maurizio Cattelan’s “Comedian” sculpture. Sun previously bought the banana at a Sotheby’s auction. Streaming live on his X account, Tron( TRON ) founder Justin Sun ate Cattelan’s banana at an open event in Hong Kong . In a video circulating online, Sun plucked the banana off the wall after removing the duct tape that was part of the sculpture. He then proceeded to peel the banana in front of a small crowd and took a bite from it, earning him excited cheers from the audience. Sun spoke briefly into a microphone in Mandarin before taking another bite and handing the half-eaten fruit off to save for later. https://twitter.com/tradeducky/status/1862397278691991845 You might also like: Justin Sun joins World Liberty Financial as advisor Shortly after the news broke, Sun revealed that he will buy 100,000 bananas from a sidewalk fruit vendor in New York’s Upper East Side who had initially sold the banana used in the original artwork for 25 cents. Sun stated that he plans to distribute the bananas worldwide. “As the owner of a fruit stand in Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Mr. Shah Alam inadvertently became a crucial contributor to a groundbreaking piece of art. This banana, far from being an ordinary piece of fruit, has taken on profound cultural and artistic significance,” stated Sun in his post . As previously reported by crypto.news on Nov. 21, Justin Sun purchased the banana for a whopping $6.2 million at a Sotheby’s auction after six minutes of bidding. The banana is part of Maurizio Cattelan’s artwork titled the “Comedian” which features a banana duct-taped to a wall. After the purchase, Sotheby’s bestowed Sun with a certificate of authenticity that gives him the right to showcase the piece as an official artwork. The auction house also gave him a “starter-kit” consisting of a banana, a roll of duct tape and a detailed instruction manual on how the piece should be presented. At the time, the Tron founder expressed his desire to eat the $6.2 million dollar banana “as part of this unique artistic experience, honoring its place in both art history and popular culture.” Sun has become the third person to have reportedly eaten Cattelan’s banana, aside from a hungry South Korean student and New York-based performance artist David Datuna.
