Weiwei says he was approached by the artist two days before the incident,

You might want to change the word “artist” to “perpetrator” as in the original article. This destructive schmo may style himself an artist, but he’s just another attention-seeking vandal riding the coattails of people with actual talent.

Not familiar with the original piece, but looking at the picture of it it does look quite striking. It’s a shame it’s been destroyed, if that was a piece i made i would be devastated.

Surprised this ‘art critic’ hasn’t been banned from galleries everywhere.

That moronic, self-obsessed vandal needs a nice quiet spot, some fingerpaints, and a load of cheap paper.

Others describe him as a “notorious vandal.”

You sack one empire, and people never let you forget it!

So one artist can break an unreplaceable piece of art and that’s a social commentary, but let someone break a piece that can be redone and that’s vandalism? As stated earlier, what goes around comes around.

If he wants to me the next i burnt down the library guy, then lets treat him as such…
