Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan's work at Art Basel, his first at an art fair in more than 15 years, is a banana attached to the wall with grey duct tape. The work “offers insight [into] how we assign worth and what kind of objects we value”, according to the gallery hosting it. The banana was locally sourced from a Miami grocery store.
