American fast food chain Popeyes showcases a $ 120,003.99 wall-mounted Sandwich, inspired by a banana-walled work.
US fast food chain Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen on December 10 quickly caught up with the trend of banana-walled works on display at the Art Basel Art Exhibition, Miami Beach, last weekend to launch. "The Sandwich," a fried chicken sandwich plastered onto a canvas.
A spokesman for Popeyes said it was a work of art in collaboration with the San Paul Urban Art Gallery. "The Sandwich" includes a toast, pickles, fried chicken, sauces and "cloth tapes".
The work was priced at $ 120,003.99, based on the actual value of the cake was $ 3.99 and an additional $ 120,000 like a banana wall art. The proceeds of the sale will go directly to The Popeyes Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping the community with food and support when needed.
Banana wall stickers are works of art called "Comedian" by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan and sold to a French collector for $ 120,000. This strange work attracted even more attention when installation artist David Datuna on December 7 casually peeled a banana and ate it in front of many people.
The director of public relations at the Lucien Terras museum said that Datuna did not sabotage the artwork because bananas were just the idea and value of the work on the certificate. Datuna also asserted that he did not destroy the work and did not feel guilty.
