Security Guard Accused of Drawing Eyes on Faceless Figures in $1M Painting
WashingtonExaminer.com | February 09, 2022 | Virginia AabramOfficials at the Yeltsin Center in Yekaterinburg in central Russia announced Monday they believe the perpetrator was a private security guard who, during his first day on the job, added eyes to the faceless figures with a ballpoint pen. He has since been fired, and the Three Figures painting, done by Anna Leporskaya between 1932 and 1934, has been sent back to Moscow for restoration.
The painting is insured for nearly $1 million and was on loan from the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow.

… I’d damnsure not risk everything by trusting to communists’ tolerance and sense of humor. Especially in Yekaterinburg.
… I’d steal one of Burt’s Harvey Awards from yesterday.
I’d replace a Jackson Pollack with the scribblings of a drunk orangutan just to see if anybody noticed.
The Biden Administration: Jackson Pollacktics.
I would closely study each painting and if I find there are any numbers partially showing under the paint..I would circle and point them out in red marker..
