US: Visitor To Gallery Learnt Hard Way Not To Touch Artwork

A visitor to a gallery in the US has learnt the hard way not to touch the artwork.

A porcelain sculpture of a balloon dog by the renowned artist Jeff Koons – worth almost 40 thousand euro – was on display at an art fair in Miami this week.

A curious visitor reportedly tapped it to see what it was made of and accidentally knocked over the two-decade old piece, which shattered on the floor.

Lucky for her, the artwork is covered by insurance and the “you break it, you buy it” policy doesn’t apply.
