Kid sticks gum on shite painting!



The Bay by Helen Frankenthaler. Photo: Detroit Institute of Arts


An abstract painting worth an estimated $1.5m (£850,000) is in need of repair after a 12-year-old boy stuck a piece of chewing gum on the canvas.


The gum left a small stain in a corner of The Bay, a 1963 painting by American artist Helen Frankenthaler.


The boy, who visited the Detroit Institute of Arts with a school group, has now been suspended by teachers.

Curators at the museum said they were researching how to remove the stain, but expected no permanent damage.

Frankenthaler is regarded as one of the most influential second generation US abstract expressionist painters.

The Bay, one of her most celebrated works, is thought to be one of the most valuable paintings in the museum's collection.



I think it may have been an improvement.

It's the bay.  Obviously.  See the general bayness of it.  Especially around the bayish bits.

That's obviously a bay... Like the one you club baby seal pups on, e.g.,

On Saturday, Montreal’s Gazette mockingly noted that "limousine liberals from Manhattan to Knightsbridge are fretting and signing petitions about the fate of the cute little seals off Canada's east coast."


The newspaper then offered a recipe for seal-flipper pie, a traditional Newfoundland dish.
