Woman Falls And Rips Picasso Painting

A woman, attending an art class, ".. lost her balance .. " and fell into Picasso's "The Actor" painting at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

DOH!!!

The unusually large canvas, measuring 77.25 by 45.38 inches (196 by 115 centimeters), sustained a vertical tear of about six inches (15 centimeters) in the lower right-hand corner in the accident on Friday.

The museum, located on the eastern edge of New York's Central Park, did not elaborate on why the woman fell.


Take it to the Antique Road Show. I want to know how much the value of it has come down due to this tear/repair. :)

Zz.
