Nespretna dama saplela se i oštetila Pikasovog "Glumca" u "Metropolitenu". Usled ove nezgode platno je puklo u donjem desnom uglu slike vredne preko sto miliona dolara.
Citat:An unidentified woman attending a museum class “lost her balance” and crashed into the artwork, according to a museum statement. The woman was not injured, said Elyse Topalian, a museum spokeswoman. The painting received a vertical tear in the lower right hand corner, the statement said. “Actor” was worth about $130 million, according to a New York art dealer.

Citat:Like a gifted plastic surgeon, a seasoned restorer has many options these days and a host of materials and instruments at his disposal, even acupuncture needles. They are not used as they would be in Asian medicine, to puncture a surface, or to sew a canvas, but rather are applied from behind to keep a tear flat.
Such needles were used to repair “Le Rêve,” said William Acquavella, the Manhattan dealer who was involved in an attempt to sell that painting on behalf of Mr. Wynn and who has shown “Le Rêve” at his gallery since it was torn. “It’s amazing what can be done these days,” he explained, adding that when they are finished restoring “The Actor,” the tear “will probably only look like a tiny pencil line. If that.”
