I colored a dollar store canvas at a brewery with my friend. When we were done we hung it on a nail sticking out of the brewery wall. It stayed up for over 6 months until one day I notice it’s not there. I’m ok with it, had fun seeing it there while it lasted. Went back last and week and saw they had just redecorated and moved it to the bathroom! What joy! It lives on!
That’s wonderful!
Tom Green did this decades ago.
Banksy too.
They didn’t say how long his painting stayed up before it was noticed.
If it was more than a week, I say don’t fire the dude, give them a grant.
Honestly I’d admire his bravado and leave it up. Makes for an interesting story for the museum.
Yeah, but it also meant he got to be on display in the gallery without the clout chasing and schmoozing normally required, and I’m sure they feel that has to be punished.
Banksy snuck an artwork into the British Museum. They put it up in a real exhibition years later.
why does nobody tell us what the artwork was
In a previous article on this topic, I recall the museum saying they would not be showing the piece in an effort to discourage copycats.
According to the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung, the 51-year-old man believed it would be his “artistic breakthrough.” Instead, he may be facing prison time.
The total damage is estimated at around €100 ($107). The picture has since been removed and confiscated
Yep that seems about right.
Good! They can put him in a cell with the guy serving life for stealing a loaf of bread.
He broke out and had a bunch of adventures. He was last seen being pursued by an Inspector in the sewers of Paris.
