A user updated the lead to describe the piece as a sculpture. I don't see "sculpture" being used in most RS. What are others' thoughts? -- Kbabej ( talk) 19:55, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
We can add the New York Times critic Jason Farago: " “Comedian” is a sculpture, one that continues Mr. Cattelan’s decades-long reliance on suspension to make the obvious seem ridiculous and to deflate and defeat the pretensions of earlier art." ThatMontrealIP ( talk) 23:40, 8 December 2019 (UTC)
I changed the lede from sculpture to artwork, as it matches the article title, which I had previously changed. Most in this discussion seemed ambivalent about the wording, but if you disagree feel free to revert. ThatMontrealIP ( talk) 00:15, 9 December 2019 (UTC)
Is there a reason that " banana" is not wikilinked in the lead paragraph? Mainly, I'd like to know whether there is a previous discussion I missed. -- SoledadKabocha ( talk) 19:42, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

A few sources in this section indicate that Joe Morford's artwork was created in 2000, while the case itself indicates the artwork was created in 2001. Moreover, a few sources indicate that the artwork is written as "Banana & Orange," while the case states the artwork is "Banana and Orange." — Preceding unsigned comment added by IPIPenthusiast ( talk • contribs) 21:05, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
