Put a hole in apparently

Mick Jones. nA perfectly valid question. nThat makes me extremely puzzled why you got thumbs down. nWhat kind of clowns would do that??nThis applies to many posts. nBloody simpletons.

I don’t know but I hear the painting started the fight.

The painting cheated on his wife

he put his fist through it, when he was arrested they found he had paint stripper with him, he also has charges against him for similar offences in the UK. you think they’d have a list of people that are notorious for this sorta shit?

Because, Stray Mutt, they want to get the kind of response u gave. They get their jollies from it. Like little kids, seeking attention, just ignore them.

You didn’t leave a good ‘impression’.

Hopefully it was End of the Number you wanted to touch rather than Aunt Pepa or Artists mother ! !

If you had you may have been shot on the spot

lol …

I totally agree, the public should have full access to these works of art, but there are some heartless people in this city, who given the opportunity like we have seen during the week, can ruin it for everyone.

I believe criminal damage is the only charge they can bring! I’m not sure they can differentiate just because it’s a painting… Interesting to see!n

Careful now.

I know, this sort of stuff should be locked away so nobody can see it.

So every day the work is seen and appreciated by thousands of Dubliners, but because one lunatic attacks it, there’s no appreciation of art or culture in Dublin any more? Seems a slightly excessive conclusion to me

Proximity of public and priceless art is not uncommon, in fact it is necessary. I spent almost a half hour within 2 feet of “starry night” , (yea that one) , at MOMA in NYC and I’m sure that had I the mind to do so I could have done irreparable damage before any security could have intervened. In fact Andy Warhols Campbell’s soup wall was close by too ! so I could have done serious damage. Galleries can only take what security is reasonable while keeping their “treasures” within reasonable reach of their fans ( and the odd not so fan ) . I would not attribute any fault to the gallery for this incident.

Fair point! However I don’t believe it should be locked away at all, but it should be located in a more secure location.

But it takes one mindless incident to ruin it for everyone!

I’ve seen better grammar and comments at nickelodeon.

That’s why he is considered the father of Impressionism and one of the most important artists of all time and you are a…. Troll.

Richard stop, ‘your’ embarrassing yourself.

If so, you certainly should have bought them. You didn’t ….. Now what does that tell us about you?
