Eating the $120,000 Art Basel banana didn't destroy the art, because art

When Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan duct-taped a real banana to the wall of the Galerie Perrotin at Art Basel Miami and listed it for a starting price of $120,000 dollars, it was par for the course in the art world.
When Georgian artist David Datuna walked up to the banana, removed it from the wall, and ate it in a piece of unexpected performance art titled "Hungry Artist," that was somewhat under par for the art world, but Datuna's fruity performance wasn't nearly as destructive at it seems.
