Maurizio Cattelan’s $6.2 million viral banana artwork stolen again

Maurizio Cattelan’s iconic conceptual artwork "Comedian", a banana duct-taped to a wall valued at $6.2 million, was stolen from France's Centre Pompidou-Metz museum over the weekend. Because the physical fruit is replaceable and the certified concept holds the actual value, staff quickly restored the exhibit with a fresh banana while police investigate the theft.
