Cattelan's banana becomes a T-shirt that you can buy for 22.5 euros for charity


Cattelan's banana becomes a t-shirt sold to charity for hungry people in Florida.

Comedian, Cattelan’s banana that got the whole world talking last month, is now also doing charity work. The Perrotin Gallery, which sold three bananas at Art Basel Miami for more than one hundred and twenty thousand dollars, has created a decidedly cheaper version of the potassium-rich fruit: a T-shirt with a reproduction of the celebrated banana, which is sold on the gallery’s website for only 22.50 euros. Proceeds will go to the organization Feeding South Florida, which helps Florida’s poor by providing food to the 25 percent of the state’s residents who cannot afford to eat regularly.Feeding South Florida distributes 42 million meals annually to more than 700 thousand people, including 240 thousand children and 110 thousand elderly.

The t-shirts featuring Comedian are 100% cotton, available in four sizes (XS, S, M and L), unisex, and went on sale by Perrotin starting Saturday, January 25. They can be purchased from Perrotin’s website and live at Perrotin’s bookstore in New York City’s Lower East Side. For those who decide to buy it online, shipments will start in February. On social media, this time, the comments seem to be all positive: the idea that the banana can help those in need has been much appreciated. Will the Comedian T-shirt become a must-have?
