On the other hand, maybe destroying priceless art is a more effective way of sending their powerful relatives a message than, I dunno, reaming them out over Thanksgiving dinner.
- ben_w 4y agoI think you may be right. Most people don't get to experience fine art except in reproductions, so for most people the physical destruction of all the originals takes nothing from their experiences. People who do love and adore fine art are not limited to the super-rich (this was after all on public display), but I bet it cuts the super rich who can afford to hang originals on their bedroom walls a little deeper than most. That said, I do know I'm not normal in many ways, perhaps more people than I assume care about originals.
- weaksauce 4y agoThey aren't destroying priceless art... unless you consider the glass that protects the actual paintings priceless art.
- AlmostAnyone 4y agoWhat about the damaged original wooden frame in the previous attack?
- weaksauce 4y agothat's unfortunate of course. it's almost certainly going to be able to be restored though. I wouldn't put the frame of a piece of artwork into the "priceless" category though.
- Gud 4y agoSo far. These items are extremely sensitive and no one but a trained specialist should go near them. If the human race goes extinct due to global warming or whatever reason, at least we left these artifacts behind.
