a crowd that was gathering before him he decided to start eating it and people were gathering around him taking photos and then a rather hassled member of staff turned up and said come with me please which he did i mean that sounds pretty strange guy i think the strangest part of the stories that someone has just paid $120000.00 for this piece of all right not just $13.00 people have paid $120000.00 at least minimum for limited editions of this the person who bought this particular one was a french collector you think he would be furious about the fact that his artwork has now been eaten but apparently it's not about the binondo itself it's about the idea and every person has got a certificate of authenticity which means that they are told if when the banana gets over right they can replace it or when this case when it has been eaten it can be replaced but obviously the stuff at the gallery we're not happy about what happened. he was not arrested but he has continued to do so and should have the
