In cases like "banana duct taped to wall", I think we're missing the forest for the trees. Art pieces like that are used as a tool for avoiding taxes for the bourgeoisie. So it isn't the sale of art, it's the sale of a capital-protecting-device, which has value so high because of how much capital one of said device is capable of protecting. Probably these art pieces' values would crash the moment that laws passed which closed the loopholes used for prior mentioned tax avoidance scheme.
