One million dollar Russian art vandalized by security guard

 Art News: 2/9/22

A Russian security guard was found to have vandalized a Soviet-era avant-garde painting by drawing eyes on its faceless figures using a ball point pen. 

The art was insured for one million dollars. When asked why he did it, he said it was because he got bored.  It was his first day on the job. 

The Arts

The arts are alive and well and millions of travelers are now visiting art galleries in New York, Las Vegas, Hawaii, Laguna Beach and more. While online sales for general goods has exceeded brick and mortar business, the art industry is quite different in that you really need to see a work of art in person to appreciate it. Art can be altered when uploaded to a site or blog, so seeing the art in person is important.
