It’s happened again. Someone walked into a museum, spotted Maurizio Cattelan’s banana-taped-to-a-wall artwork, and decided to tuck in.
This time, the setting was the Centre Pompidou-Metz in eastern France, where the infamous 'Comedian' (2019) has been on display since May as part of a major retrospective marking the museum’s 15th anniversary. A visitor reportedly peeled the banana off the wall and ate it, before security “rapidly and calmly intervened,” according to a statement from the museum on Friday.
