'£24.8m' taped bananas appear in village
ImproBananas have appeared taped to various locations in a village, in an imitation of an artwork that sold for $6.2m (£4.9m) at a New York auction.
Artist Impro, who frequently uses Sonning in Berkshire as a location for his work, claimed responsibility.
He said the sale of his "masterpiece" bananas would enable Sonning's residents to get a "new church roof".
The original work, titled 'Comedian' by Italian visual artist Maurizio Cattelan, was bought by Chinese cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun in November.
Getty ImagesImpro, who lives in Oxfordshire, said: "Enough of the japes and pranks! This time I have graced Sonning with bona fide, international standard fine art worth in total £24.8m at auction.
"The sale of just one of these masterpieces would be more than enough to get them their new church roof and to Sonningians [sic] I would say, 'you're welcome!'"
Previous works by Impro include a phone, postbox and door affixed to the side of Sonning Bridge.
ImproHe also installed a large, red Google Maps pin on A4155 Reading to Henley road in 2014.
His post box work drew international attention when it caught the eye of famous spoon-bender Uri Geller.
Mr Geller said at the time: "I have never seen anything like this anywhere in the world. It's a new one on me."
