Women wipes ass and pees on $30 Million dollar painting
Mon 9 Jan 2012 - 17:31
A 36-year-old
woman was charged Wednesday after punching, scratching and sliding her
buttocks against a painting worth more than $30 million, authorities in
Colorado said.
Carmen Tisch is accused of pulling her pants down to rub up against the
work, an oil-on-canvas called "1957-J no.2", by the late abstract
expressionist artist Clyfford Still.
Tisch allegedly caused $10,000 worth of damage to the painting.
Tisch
was charged with felony criminal mischief on Wednesday and has been
held on a $20,000 bond since the incident in late December, said Lynn
Kimbrough, spokeswoman for the Denver District Attorney's Office.
Citing the police report, the Denver Post reported that the suspect was apparently drunk at the time.
Kimbrough said Tisch urinated after she rubbed up against the canvas at the recently opened Clyfford Still museum in Denver.
"It
doesn't appear she urinated on the painting or that the urine damaged
it, so she's not being charged with that," Kimbrough said according to
the Denver Post.
"You have to wonder where her friends were," she said.
A Denver art gallery owner, Ivar Zeile, told the Post that the painting could probably be restored as long as the canvas wasn't pierced.
"It does damage the piece, though, even people just knowing what happened," he added.
