Beso en $2.8M que pinta más que apenas un beso
¿Qué precio un beso? Ésa es la pregunta que una corte francesa está intentando decidir en el caso de una mujer que besó una pintura todo-blanca del artista Cy Twombly american.
El SAM de Rindy, artista francés 30-year-old, fue el martes de ensayo en Avignon, Francia, en cargas voluntariamente de dañar una obra de arte. Lejos de un acto del vandalismo, el SAM dice, su beso era un "acto del amor." "no pensé. Cuando lo besé, pensé que el artista habría entendido, "SAM dicho durante su ensayo. Ella dijo que la "habían superado con la pasión" en ver untitled el trabajo. Los querellantes no convienen.
El lápiz labial dejado detrás por el beso impulsivo todavía está en la pintura y los restauradores tienen todavía encontrar una manera de quitarla. Llamaron para que el juez imponga una multa de 4.500 euros ($6.240) y solicitaron que el SAM atiende a un curso en buena ciudadanía. La pintura, que vale $2.830.000 estimados, es poseída por el colector Yvon Lambert. Él pedía $2.878.000 en los daños, que incluyeron el valor de la pintura y del coste de $47.000 restauraciones.
Twombly se conoce para sus pinturas abstractas que combinan técnicas de la pintura y del dibujo, las líneas repetidoras y el uso de la pintada, de letras y de palabras. Llevado en Lexington, la Virginia, en 1928, Twombly ha vivido en Italia por casi un mitad-siglo. Él ganó la concesión de oro prestigiosa del león en la Venecia Biennale en 2001. El ensayo de martes viene los días justos después de que otra pintura - d'Argenteuil de Le Pont "de Claude Monet impresionista francés del pintor" - fuera destrozada. Los intrusos, bebidos al parecer, se rompieron en el museo domingo temprano de Orsay de París y perforaron un agujero en el trabajo renombrado.
El ministro francés Christine Albanel de la cultura, reaccionando al incidente de domingo, prometió para buscar seguridad mejorada en museos y sanciones más fuertes contra las que desecrate arte.

What price a kiss? That's the question a French court is trying to decide in the case of a woman who kissed an all-white painting by American artist Cy Twombly.
Rindy Sam, a 30-year-old French artist, went on trial Tuesday in Avignon, France, on charges of voluntarily damaging a work of art.
Far from an act of vandalism, Sam says, her kiss was an "act of love."
"I didn't think. When I kissed it, I thought the artist would have understood," Sam said during her trial. She said she had been "overcome with passion" on seeing the untitled work.
Prosecutors do not agree. The lipstick left behind by the impulsive kiss is still on the painting and restorers have yet to find a way to remove it.
They called for the judge to levy a fine of 4,500 euros ($6,240) and requested that Sam attend a course on good citizenship.
The painting, which is worth an estimated $2,830,000, is owned by collector Yvon Lambert. He was asking for $2,878,000 in damages, which included the value of the painting and the $47,000 restoration cost.
Twombly is known for his abstract paintings combining painting and drawing techniques, repetitive lines and the use of graffiti, letters and words.
Born in Lexington, Va., in 1928, Twombly has lived in Italy for nearly a half-century. He won the prestigious Golden Lion award at the Venice Biennale in 2001.
Tuesday's trial comes just days after another painting — French Impressionist painter Claude Monet's "Le Pont d'Argenteuil" — was vandalized. Intruders, apparently drunk, broke into Paris' Orsay Museum early Sunday and punched a hole in the renowned work.
French Culture Minister Christine Albanel, reacting to Sunday's incident, pledged to seek improved security in museums and stronger sanctions against those who desecrate art.
