Hungry student eats $120k banana artwork by Maurizio Cattelan in Seoul.

A South Korean art student at Seoul National University has eaten a banana duct-taped to a wall at the Leeum Museum, where Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan's exhibition "WE" is being held. The banana artwork, titled "Comedian," has sold for $120,000 and has been the subject of debate in the art world. The student, Noh Hyun-soo, said he found it fun to deface a work of art, which he considered a work of art in itself. The museum has replaced the banana, and no special actions are being taken against the student.
