Had a bad day?

A cleaning woman accidentally ruined a million-dollar sculpture . . . because like most of us, she couldn't tell the difference between modern art and a mess. The Ostwall Museum in Dortmund, Germany had a modern-art display that included a $1.1 million sculpture by German artist Martin Kippenberger. The piece is called "When it Starts Dripping From the Ceiling", and it had a bunch of wooden slats over what appeared to be a dried puddle on the floor. A cleaning woman saw the stain on the floor, and thought the ceiling was leaking. So she got to work and completely scrubbed away the dried puddle. The cleaning staff had been warned to stay at least eight inches away from the artwork, so museum officials aren't sure how the misunderstanding occurred. The obvious solution would be to have Martin fix it. Unfortunately, he can't . . . because he DIED in 1997. The sculpture was on loan from a private collector. The owner said it should remain on display while they decide whether or not to repair it. Read more HERE
