Maurizio Cattelan's banana art piece 'Comedian,' sold for over $6 million, highlights the absurdity and evolution of modern art, questioning traditional notions of value.
In the age of the attention economy, the Certificate of Authenticity becomes the key token of value, as the banana itself is merely a temporary prop.
The transaction reflects a shift where the concept and ownership, rather than the physical object itself, drive the value in contemporary art market dynamics.
'Proof of attention' emerges as a new form of currency in art, emphasizing the merging of digital assets and real-world objects within collectors' consciousness.
