There is a building in Dallas called Museum Tower that has a reflective glare that effectively destroyed a popular piece at a near by museum.

      > It still hasn't been resolved .. and now we know why. It's politically impossible. If anyone else owned the building it would be fixed or the owners sued. > "The Dallas Police & Fire Pension System, which had earlier made a small investment in the Museum Tower project, announced that it would jump in with both feet and finance the entire thing, all $200 million of it"

  Note that the artist declared it destroyed for aesthetic reasons. It wasn't burnt or melted as far as I can tell.
