A museum in eastern France has filed a police complaint after a banana forming the centrepiece of Maurizio Cattelan’s multimillion-dollar conceptual artwork "Comedian" was stolen from an exhibition.
The Pompidou-Metz museum, a branch of the Pompidou Centre in Paris, said the banana, famously taped to a wall as part of the Italian artist’s provocative work, was noticed missing by a guard on Saturday.
