Timberrrr! Lady Crashes Into Picasso Painting
Rare Picasso painting, "The Actor," was torn by clutzy woman at Metropolitan Museum of Art. The museum says the damage did not affect the focal point and a repair is possible.
A rare Picasso housed at New York‘s Metropolitan Museum of Art suffered a six-inch tear when a clumsy art lover fell on it during an art class.
The museum says the damage did not affect the “focal point” in the century-old masterpiece called “The Actor” and a repair is possible. The museum has about 250 works by Picasso in its collection.
The 6ft by 4ft canvas, which Picasso painted during the winter of 1904-05, depicts an acrobat posed against an abstract backdrop. It was donated to the Met in 1952 and hung in a second-floor gallery without any problems…until Friday. It is expected to be repaired in time to go on display in an exhibit with the other Picasso works April 27.
