Don?t Ya Hate it When This Happens?

By mcbride

Someone lost their balance, fell and ripped a Picasso at the Met.  (I am so glad it wasn?t me?.)  ?The accident occurred in a second-floor gallery of early Picasso works when a patron participating in one of the museum?s art classes lost her balance and fell on the canvas, the museum said.  It happened during regular visiting hours when other visitors were in the gallery. People who attend the art classes typically roam through the museum in a group stopping in front of works of interest. ?The Actor? was donated to the Met in 1952 by art patron Thelma Chrysler Foy, the elder daughter of auto magnate Walter Chrysler.?  Here is a link, with a picture of the work: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35058401/from/ET?GT1=43001
