A duct-taped banana just sold for $6.2M—art or absurdity?

Viral Duct-Taped Banana Art Sells for $6.2 Million | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Viral duct-taped banana artwork, created by noted prankster Maurizio Cattelan, has sold for $6.2 million. Chinese-born crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun placed the winning bid, making a fruit-stand banana taped on a wall arguably the most expensive fruit in the world. Sun says that he plans to “eat the banana in a few days”. So why did he purchase the fruit at such a high price? What is art investment and how does it work?
