Same story… Different work of art.
Two works of art came crashing to the ground last week in Yekaterinburg, Russia, as a woman, caught on surveillance, knocked over a structure while taking a selfie. The works, an etching from the Los Caprichos series by Francesco Goya and a Salvator Dali interpretation of it, were on view at the International Arts Center Main Avenue. The Goya sustained damages to its frame and protective glass. Unfortunately, the Dali which sustained similar damages also sustained damages to the artwork itself.
Luckily for the woman involved, the museum is not pressing charges.
