Description:
What’s more absurd — paying six figures for a banana duct-taped to a wall, or realizing you missed the chance to own the piece that made fun of it better than anyone?

“Copy & Paste” is a sharply intelligent, one-of-a-kind mosaic by Miles Mathews, turning one of the most infamous moments in contemporary art into a radiant, timeless artifact.

Crafted entirely by hand with luminous stained glass, the banana form is humorously interrupted by cold blue glass “tape” — referencing the viral Maurizio Cattelan piece, but replacing throwaway materials with heirloom precision.

It’s both a satire and an elevation: from rot to reverence, from gimmick to glass. This work captures the moment where irony became currency — and reclaims the conversation through true craftsmanship.

Perfect for collectors who appreciate art history, conceptual subversion, and conversation-starting power pieces.

Ideal Placement:
Modern interiors, gallery walls, high-end collections, or any space where intellect and style collide.
