a year ago

TRON Founder Justin Sun announced the acquisition of 100,000 bananas from Mr. Shah Alam's fruit stand in New York's Upper East Side to be distributed free globally.

The Role of Banana in Art

Justin Sun's idea emerged after a banana from Alam's stand became part of Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan's work, sold for $6.2 million, highlighting the banana as a symbol connecting art with daily life.

Justin Sun's Gratitude

Sun expressed gratitude towards Mr. Alam for his contribution to art, noting his role in creating a significant cultural piece. He also plans to visit the stand in the future.

“Mr. Alam’s contribution to this extraordinary artwork is indispensable, highlighting the boundless possibilities and value hidden in everyday life. I hope this initiative will bring us to a broader audience and, one day, I look forward to visiting his fruit stand in person to express my gratitude again.”Justin Sun, TRON Founder

The Continuation of 'Comedian' in Art

Maurizio Cattelan first introduced his work 'Comedian' in 2019 at the Art Basel Miami Beach fair. Justin Sun noted that the banana, as a replaceable element, continues to be a relevant piece of art. Sun will eat the banana on November 29 to mark its role in art history.

Justin Sun's interest in bananas from Mr. Alam's stand illustrates the value of art hidden in the simplest items, underscoring the cultural and artistic significance of the banana.
