(FILES) A visitor looks at the "Comedian" artwork by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan during the press preview of the exhibition "Dimanche sans fin. Maurizio Cattelan et la Collection du Centre Pompidou" (Endless Sunday. Maurizio Cattelan and the Collection of the Pompidou Centre) at the Centre Pompidou-Metz in Metz on May 7, 2025. The Pompidou-Metz museum on May 31, 2026 reported to police the theft of a banana that forms a core part of a multimillion-dollar artwork by Italian visual artist Maurizio Cattelan. The missing fruit -- which was taped to a wall to form the provocative work by Cattelan called "Comedian" -- was noticed by a guard on May 30 to have gone missing.
