The banana duct-taped to a wall, which sold for $120,000 at Miami Art Basel, was no longer on display Sunday, thanks to “several uncontrollable crowd movements.”The controversial piece, titled “Comedian,” was taken down Sunday at the request of Art Basel’s organizers, The New York Post reported. “Maurizio Cattelan’s Comedian, 2019 is no longer on view,” an Art Basel spokesperson told The Post. Collectors have been buying the certificate of the art -- the banana is not made to last. The banana had been mounted on Emmanuel Perrotin’s outer gallery wall at Art Basel in Miami Beach. “Art Basel collaboratively worked with us to station guards and create uniform lines,” the Paris-based gallery’s statement said.
