A student who ate a $120,000 artwork consisting of a banana taped to a wall said he was hungry after skipping breakfast.

Comedian, by Maurizio Cattelan, was on display in Seoul’s Leeum Museum of Art as part of an exhibition by the Italian artist.

Noh Huyn-soo, a college student from Seoul National University, took the banana off the wall and ate it before reattaching the peel to the wall using the same tape.
