“All I can say is that we did not receive any positive feedback on the addition from visitors to the gallery,”

Not a strong debut and I understand why museum did this but they're pursuing charges fir drilling 2 holes in a wall? The corporate mentality for an art institution is so cringe.

Most likely they couldn't figure out anything else to charge him hence the "drilling the wall" thing.

That painting will be part of a special exhibition in a couple of decades.

I’d love to see the painting.

You're telling me they didn't include it in the article? In 2024?

I'm shocked, I tell you. SHOCKED.

I mean, the dude did it so he could get eyes on his work. So that would be basically giving him exactly what he wanted.

The Pinakothek spokesperson said the painting had been hung in the early hours and spotted by staff soon after the museum opened the same day.

For some reason I was really hoping he got away with it for a little while.
