"Comedian" has been passionately debated, rhapsodically venerated, and hotly contested - and eaten not only once, but twice, framing a major discussion regarding art.
Lucius Elliot noted that the work prompted debate about whether it is art, a prank, or a symbol of the art market's excess.
Justin Sun, the winning bidder, expressed, "Cattelan's humor and sense of adventure strike a strong chord with me," underscoring the subjective nature of art valuation.
Sotheby's commented that Cattelan "single-handedly prompted the world to reconsider how we define art, and the value we seek in it."
