2019 in philosophy
Etienne Vermeersch died in January.
The year 2019 in art involved various significant events.
December 7 – The banana and duct tape in Comedian, an artwork created in an edition of three for the 2019 installation of Art Basel Miami Beach by Maurizio Cattelan, consisting of the aforementioned fruit held to a wall by duct tape (the initial one of which was sold to an unnamed French art collector for US$120,000) is summarily eaten by David Datuna a self-styled performance vigilante who names his piece Hungry Artist and says of the finished work "It was very delicious".
