After well over fifty years of searching, I’ve finally found a complete though not exact replica of the infamous Andy Warhol and VU banana. I can hardly breathe. I’ve looked everywhere, and lo and behold, it came to me slightly disguised within a rather ordinary bunch of bananas at Lidl in Corstorphine, Edinburghshire. The one that used to be PC World. Strange, I know.
Perhaps I shouldn’t be too precise about this discovery, as I may inadvertently trigger some sort of arty fanboy stampede to the store. It was a special moment; singular, fleeting, and quietly profound. Alongside the banana, I also purchased some green salad (is there any other colour?), butter, wine, and cat treats. None of these yielded any artistic content or wider cultural significance, beyond their own status as natural and modest design objects going about their daily business.
Take care out there in the shopping zone. And by the way, I allowed the banana to age gracefully before I ate it. It’s what Andy would have wanted.
