Art going bananas

Art’s going bananas well nigh-- Apple still of many an eye And an object of art Winning no mean a heart, Why a banana taped for millions vie-- A fruit best in ape’s hand, In lewd limerick’s land, Is out today all logic to defy. Food has long been an art, Art as food my sense thwart, Why I hear Ecuador’s desperate sigh. ___________________ Happenings |18.11.2024|humour, art Poet’s note: Banana has the art world in a tizzy. Maurizio Catalan’s work, Comedian (a single banana taped to wall) has sold for over six million dollars at Sotheby’s auction. The same thing, when put up at Art Basel Miami Beach in 2019, had left people in shock. But don’t we live in a topsy-turvy world? Ecuador is the biggest exporter of bananas in the world.
