NEW ORLEANS (WGNO)—Local artist Terrance Osborne is reimagining the unusual banana art installation that sold for $6.2 million. Artist Maurizio Cattelan's art piece called, "The Comedian," sold for $6.2 million at a Sotheby's auction in New York. The art installation is unusual because it is a real, edible banana duct taped to the wall. Artist Terrance Osborne teams up with Raising Cane’s for new Mardi Gras art The banana was reportedly purchased for just 35 cents. According to reports, Chinese cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun purchased it. Just in time for Black Friday, New Orleans artist Terrance Osborne thought he would poke fun with a sale of his own of the infamous art installation. Only he actually painted a banana that's duct-taped to a wall. Artist Terrance Osborne’s daughter, musician Indys Blu, to perform at Jazz Fest for first time "I believe that the artist who created and sold this banana is playing with the idea that what is considered 'art' has value only when a huge price is placed on it. I painted this piece to poke fun at the process as well, but also to turn this idea into actual art," Osborne said. Osborne's price tag jokingly on his painting is $5.9 million.
