#CollectMe: IS IT ART? FRIDGE MAGNET by UME Toys Releases Jan 24/2020

One of the more recognisable iconology for 2019, was the banana stuck to a wall with grey duct tape. Sold tons of $$$ at a art show (Art Basel show in Miami Beach), parodied to the Nth-degree from tons of artists and showcased on wwworldwide - just not on my blog, so I am playing catch-up here - with THIS being a surprise drop from @richpage of UME Toys!

Sized approx 3 inches x 3 inches, this self-sculpted, casted and painted art banana fridge magnet can be had online here for £9.50, from Friday 24th January at 6:00pm London time.

refinery29.com reported that there were three editions of the piece. The first two sold to two different French buyers at the start of Art Basel at US$12,000. The third will be priced at $150,000 and sold to a museum, the art market website Artnet reports.

The piece was titled "Comedian", and is the creation of Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan.
