A couple in South Korea accidentally ruined a $500,000 artwork which they mistook for a piece of ‘participatory art’.
Earlier today, April 4, CCTV cameras at an art gallery in Seoul’s Lotte World Mall captured a couple splattering and rubbing paint on a piece of art.
The untitled artwork, which measures 240cm by 700cm, was painted by graffiti artist JonOne in 2016 in front of an audience in Seoul.
Whenever the art moves from exhibit to exhibit, paintbrushes and paint that were used to create it are also put on display next to it.
