Shah Alam, who sells bananas for a living, unexpectedly learned that a banana he'd sold was auctioned for $5.2 million, leaving him astounded by the absurdity.
The absurdity of the art world is encapsulated in Maurizio Cattelan's work Comedian, which transforms a simple banana into a multimillion-dollar piece of art.
This event underscores the vast financial chasm in art, with everyday fruits juxtaposed against elaborate transactions involving stratospheric sums for conceptual art.
Mr. Alam expressed his disbelief, stating, 'I am a poor man... I have never had this kind of money; I have never seen this kind of money.'
