Couple Who Defaced $400,000 Painting Thought It Was a Public Art Project

This is confusing and I’m here for it.

The graffiti artist gets mad when his non-graffiti art gets badly tagged.

I understand that he’s making a “statement” about what art is and isn’t, but he also needs to understand the environment.

It’s a splotchy, abstract art in a public setting with paint cans, brushes, and shoes around it with little-to-no barriers.

What did they expect would happen?
