for those of you who may not have seen this yet and you thought we got militant about art, it amazes me what people pull off in museums, I'm sure she gave security some kind of hint to tackle her and throw her out the back door before she releaved herself

 

She doesn't look like a trouble maker.

 

But the painting does look like crap.

 

you know, i've done this to my own work plenty of times, but never considered outsourcing...

 

haha

 

"Something as ridiculous as a woman coming in who's probably unknown to anybody, being able to even touch the piece is kind of a slap in the face to the authority of the museum."

No shit, Sherlock...I wish she had taken a dump on the thing, get over yourself...

The above quote drives me CRAZY on so many levels. Would it have mattered if it was a "known" woman pissing on Still's painting? Crazy that she would be "able to touch" some paint on a canvas? The AUTHORITY OF THE MUSEUM?!?

Very amusing story on so many levels.

 

I just like how he says that it's shocking that someone would do this in the context of a museum. Is there a place where pissing on classic paintings is accepted?

 

Yeah that quote is super gross and elitist. I have heard that people damage art in museums more often than you think, but it's generally not publicized to stop others from doing it.
