Maurizio Cattelan is known for making strange art. His sculpture "America" is a working golden toilet. He has used duct tape before by taping a person on a wall for an art gallery. He bought the banana used in "Comedian" for about 30 cents. Emmanuel Perrotin was the exhibitor of "Comedian". He said it has many meanings and is a good way to show humor. It was the first time in more than 15 years that Cattelan's art was shown in an exhibition.
