I just ran across this bit of news on the New York Times Artsbeat blog: on Friday, a woman visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art fell into a Picasso Painting, causing a six-inch gash in the canvas. The story itself is interesting, but the comment thread had me rolling. My favorite line, "Someone should send this woman a bottle of wine and tickets to the next Damien Hirst exhibition." Read the whole thing, here.Image, Metropolitan Museum of Art.

ReplyDeleteomg the mortification! can you imagine...falling into a PICASSO??
ReplyDeleteHow embarrassing for that poor woman, but how funny for us!
ReplyDeleteI love quirky stories like that and always picture the family in 50 plus years talking about great grandma so'nso and her crazy moment. If that family ever gets into a 'my grandma's better than your grandma' they'd win! How would you ever beat "my grandma fell into a Picasso painting! :-)
