Got $160k? You can now buy this durian taped to a wall

[ad_1]

This local durian joint is venturing into the art business. Their first piece? A durian duct-taped to a wall, available at the very reasonable price of $163,056 (wall not included).

According to 99 Old Trees, the piece, fittingly titled Durian Tape to White Wall, “looks like art, smells like fart”.

But it’s not just a fruit taped to a wall. The “durian bondage art” serves as a reminder of our forefathers’ past struggles and signifies our colonial past, said 99 Old Trees.

In case you haven’t caught on yet, this is simply a clever spoof of a work of art that sold for US$120,000 (S$163,200) recently at Miami Beach Art Basel — a banana duct-taped to a wall.
