"Two artists were forcibly removed from Miami Art Basel after milking a woman's breast and selling it for $200,000.
Artists OONA and Lori Baldwin staged an impromptu exhibit after their planned performance Milking the Artist was deemed 'too controversial.'
In front of a crowd of 300, the two artists milked OONA's breast, which appears to be prosthetic, and auctioned it off.
The first glass of milk sold for 50 Ethereum - which is equal to $64,000 - and the second glass sold for 158 Ethereum, or $200,000, before the two artists were forcibly removed from the premises.
In a video, obtained by TMZ, OONA, dressed in black, yelled at the crowd: 'Do I need to be dead for this art to be valuable? Is this not art? Why does this make you so uncomfortable? Do I have to be naked?
'Is this not art? Does a breast need to be in a painting or a sculpture to be valuable?'
Baldwin, dressed in all-white, started the bid at $10,000 and it eventually went all the way up to $200,000.
In a close-up video, posted to both artists' Instagram accounts, show them milking the breast as people filmed.
The two artists claimed Art Basel 'fetishizes' female breasts before they started their performance."
