Three individuals targeted National Gallery paintings an hour after Phoebe Plummer and Anna Holland were jailed for similar attack in 2022
There is nothing priceless about any piece of art ever. Placing a living person’s time and life below a simple image is the most egregious fetishism I have seen in a while.
So according to this judge Earth = not priceless
The judge is probably old as fuck so global warming will just mean he can go on retirement cruises all year round
THEY DID DAMAGE TO THE FRAME
Keep doing this to your climate activists and soon enough their sentences won’t even be able to be completed because the prisons will be underwater.When the climate disaster has escalated to that point, they will have already switched to summary executions
These protestors aren’t even doing terrorism yet and they treat them like trash
they are gonna make it a public calamity when they do
Let’s hope Kali is pregnant.
You two simply had no right to do what you did to Sunflowers, and your arrogance in thinking otherwise deserves the strongest condemnation.
WHAT YOU DID TO SUNFLOWERS
for being an allegedly serious crime, they phrased their condemnation in the silliest way they couldIt’s Bri’sh people, after all.
I’ve seen the video. 10k in damage to the frame is absurd. If someone simply cleaned the soup within an hour or two of them throwing soup on it then it was as good as new. If they left it to soak in for 24 hours and damage the wood then that’s negligence on the museum’s part.
Protecting the artwork on the Titanic is my new metaphor for how stupid this is.
I’m a big fan of art, but uncritical support for an endless flow of soup at valuable items until rich people stop killing all of us.
That plane of glass has never done more work than in this sentence. The glass did its job and the painting is fine.
By this logic if you shoot at someone and they’re behind thick bullet proof glass you’ve legally murdered them
Attempted Murder is a charge places.
Shooting in the direction of someone in the full knowledge that your bullet will not possibly hit them is not attempted murder. It’s… actually not any crime.
I’d say it was property damage to the window so vandalism? What about intimidating? Or are you saying they person behind the window is in on the shooting for lulz?
I mean, this is obviously taking the analogy too far for argument’s sake. You can’t intimidate a painting and soup doesn’t damage glass.
Don’t be mad at me I’m very pro planet earth as well as pro soup
Not mad atcha, just disagreeing. It’s all good
Your lucky your behind that glass and that I’m out of soup!
Why are they putting $10k frames on soup throwing range
On March 30th , 1987, at Christie’s London, Sunflowers by Vincent Van Gogh sold for £24.75 million
Not so priceless after all.Also, if the pane of glass is so potentially vulnerable, why is no one telling the museum that it needs to beef up security?
It’s just impossible to clean an oil painting covered with water soluble soup
And the price of the painting went up by a few millions for the added notoriety
Who the fuck designed the glass pane so that it didn’t cover the frame?
Didn’t the UK arrest some activists before they did anything a while back? Sink that hellhole already.
The piece of glass that they knew was there and knew would stop the soup, which it did??
But imagine if it wasn’t there. Ever think about that?
Vincent Van Gogh only sold a single painting while he was alive. His paintings were considered worthless garbage at the time. Fine art is and always has been a way for the rich to launder money.
