(CNN) — For some — the chance to see a banana duct-taped to a wall is to be within touching distance of a sensational moment...

According to the BBC report, the artwork created by Maurizio Cattelan is called 'Comedian'. The artwork featured a ripe banana duct-taped to the wall.

A university student told staff he ate the fruit on display because he was hungry.
