How To Destroy A Priceless Piece of Art Without Really Trying
Filed under: Etc.
For starters, be a klutz!
News out of the Big Apple this morning reached us about a woman who got a little close for comfort to a Picasso at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Friday. The woman lost her balance and fell right into the painting titled The Actor, creating a six-inch tear in the canvas' lower right-hand corner.
The MET released a statement, assuring everyone that the piece can be repaired and will be back on display in a couple of weeks.
Phew! Bet that woman won't be bringing her two left feet anywhere near a museum anytime soon!

I guess what is "art" is in the eye of the beholder, but that is some ugly painting!
that's a cute story, straight out of some romantic comedy were the caretaker is they guy she's afer - HAHA - great post
Let the American bashing begin!
Sadly I remember when Steve Wynn put his elbow through one by accident.
I highly doubt that this is the original copy.
That sure is fascinating celebrity gossip…. not.
It looks like Robert Pattinson in the painting!
that dude in the painting looks like robert pattinson.
Oh well… I have a Picasso in my home….believe me, NO ONE gets near it lol
Sounds like an episode of I Love Lucy
Re: dreamsurfer – wowow, tell me about it!!
Day late (we read the news too)…get it together.
It's not the original or it would be behind glass
Funny how the actor in the painting slightly resembles Rob Pattinson in the face.
this looks like a painting of R-PATZ!!
daaaaamn! god, i would die of embarassment if i was her.
Re: LizardKinG – oh god i remember the Wynn debacle…that painting cost like $50 million! and he tried to sue his insurer for his being a klutz! heh heh
The MET makes no money too. They rely on donations. If you go in there, there is no admission charge. They have a sign that says "Suggested donation $15 dollars" but you don`t have to pay it. You can give them a penny and still get in.
She's lucky they didn't charge her ass for it…damn.
They should have a policy - "You break it, you bought it" LOL
I actually saw a little girl bounce off a Pollock with her hands at the Art Institute in Chicago. Almost lost my breath because she did it twice. Her parents weren't looking.
Its a shit painting anyway she shoulda ripped it to shreds. And if they are so concerned about they should put it behind plexiglass like they do in the louvre.
