Crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun on Friday fulfilled a promise he made after spending $6.2 million on an artwork featuring a banana duct-taped to a wall - by eating the fruit.
加密貨幣企業家孫宇晨,花了620萬美元購買1件以被膠帶貼在牆上的香蕉為主題的藝術品後,週五兌現他的承諾:吃掉這根香蕉。
At one of Hong Kong’s priciest hotels, Sun chomped down on a banana in front of dozens of journalists and influencers after giving a speech hailing the work as "iconic" and drew parallels between conceptual art and cryptocurrency.
孫宇晨在香港1家最昂貴的酒店之一,向數十名記者和網紅發表談話,稱讚這件作品「具有代表性」,並在將概念藝術與加密貨幣相提並論後,當眾吃下一根香蕉。
Titled "Comedian", the conceptual work created by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan was sold at a Sotheby’s auction in New York last week, with Sun among seven bidders.
這件由義大利藝術家毛里齊奧‧卡特蘭創作概念藝術品,名為「喜劇演員」,上週在紐約蘇富比拍賣會上售出,孫宇晨是7名競標者之一。
"It’s much better than other bananas," Sun said after getting his first taste.(AFP)
