Picasso's "The Actor"
And sorry isn’t going to make it all better either.
A couple days ago, while on an arts-education class at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, a lady lost her footing and fell into a Pablo Picasso painting. Her trip left an approximately 6 inch long tear in Picasso’s The Actor, worth somewhere around $130 million. The woman, whom the Met is not identifying right now, is physically unharmed, but I’m wondering if the “you break it, you bought it” rule will be called.
