I'm sure everyone has heard about this already, but someone fell into a Picasso at the Met last week. This incident seems to have captured everyone's attention, though we can rest assured that the Met's conservation department will be able to fix the 6-inch tear without a problem. It's even expected to be back up in time for the Picasso show (one of many, many Picasso shows opening this year).
The Times posted a related article this morning that details other horrifying and cringe-worthy art-related accidents. I'm especially interested in the MoMA spokeswoman's comments that "incidents happen" but that there are "no incidents we can discuss in the press." Cryptic.
