it's not clear whether the one displayed is the third edition which as yet, remains unsold.

This clever person made 3 editions of banana and duct tape and SOLD 2. Makes one wonder about the sanity of the purchasers (one being a museum)

1/4, strewth, there's a fair few bob being chucked about for art.

I wonder about the sanity of anyone who considers it a 'masterpiece '.
A work of art?
Seriously?
