Didnt we learn anything from Duchamp's Urinal??? Voted the most influential work of art of all time by 500 art experts: http://www.artnewsblog.com/2004/12/duchamps-urinal.htm But of Ignorance goin' round here if ya ask me I think its ironic all these people complain about it not being “art” because its not painted or sculpted?

As they started to rot, the phrase came back again. The bananas are used because they changed over time. If you knew about Sagmeister you'd know he works with MANY charities and he does a lot of work for non-profit, please do your research before bashing something you don't know about.

All these "this isn't art" comments are just stupid. Isn't the whole point of art that it can't be defined? You don't get to say, this is not art because it does not take talent. Piet Mondrian's pieces could easily be emulated without 'talent', and that does not make them any less 'art'. And it's not like the wastage of the bananas is truly that much worse than the expenditure of an equal amount of non-food resources on any given art project. Oh, shut up.
