What happened when Picasso's famous painting was torn? Who tore up Picasso's famous painting worth 65.438+0.8 billion? What is the exposure rate?

According to British media reports, in tate modern, London, a 20-year-old man tore up a painting worth about 20 million pounds, or about 654.38 billion yuan. The destroyed painting is called Bust of Women, which was created by Picasso in 1944. The prototype is Doramar, Picasso's lover. At present, the man has been arrested by the police and charged with criminal damage. The art gallery has removed this famous painting and asked professionals to evaluate the damage.

The tearing of Picasso's famous paintings worth 65.438+0.8 billion yuan attracted media attention.

6543810.4, a famous Picasso painting worth10.8 billion yuan was torn off, which attracted the attention of the whole network. Many people think that Li Dan's speech in The Story of Chipa not long ago is more beautiful than Mona Lisa, and it is a burning Mona Lisa.

Although the destruction of famous paintings is accidental, many similar cases have occurred in recent years, which often attract public attention. Does art attract attention by such accidents? Is destruction the best way to give artistic value?

Picasso's famous paintings with a value of 65.438+0.8 billion yuan were torn and posted in Weibo for hot search.

Art galleries hold exhibitions, mostly to guard against gentlemen and villains.

16 days ago, when I took a photo with this painting, I never imagined that 16 days later, this painting was torn. After learning from Weibo that the female bust of Picasso in tate modern, London was destroyed, Mu, an exchange student in Britain, had a sense of unreality.

Nowadays, going to the art gallery to see exhibitions has become a common leisure activity, and seeing masterpieces handed down from ancient times has been included in the wish list of many art lovers. Usually, art galleries are equipped with security personnel, but judging from reporters' field visits and interviews, the security of art galleries is usually not too strict.

As far as the art galleries and museums I have been to are concerned, the Mona Lisa's smile in the Louvre in Paris is the most complete protection measure. Perhaps because it is so famous, this painting is not only covered with a glass cover, but also equipped with a hard railing, so visitors can only watch it from behind the railing. Mu Xi told reporters that in most other European art galleries, paintings will not be covered by glass covers, and the distance between the audience and the paintings can be very close.

In tate modern, the ruined masterpiece "Bust of Women" hangs directly on the wall without railings and ropes in front. As can be seen in a photo circulating on the Internet, there are even children who touch the painting directly. Mu Xi recalled that in tate modern, there was basically one staff member in each exhibition hall, but there were also some exhibition halls with only tourists. When I watched Bust of Women, there were no staff nearby.

At present, the security of the art museum is to guard against gentlemen and villains. After 90, Yang Yuan saw Picasso's paintings at Prado Art Museum in Spain. Famous paintings have no special protection, and there is no more than one rope. There will be many dead ends for security personnel to manage a large room alone. Mad Ami, a self-media blogger, also wrote about his visit to the Basel Art Museum in the Netherlands. He went in the morning 10, and the exhibition hall was empty. The board creaked and Monet's painting was in sight. There is no glass, no cordon, no staff or even monitoring in the room. Next door are the self-portraits of Van Gogh and pissarro, and on the third floor are Picasso's early works. /kloc-after 0: 30, staff in suits and ties appeared one after another. He is not without feelings. As long as you go early, the art galleries in Europe will be yours all over the world. Of course, shortening the distance is also accompanied by danger. I feel sorry for that painting.

The visitor's experience is the first way to show, which is based on the mutual trust between the museum and the visitors. The trip to tate modern left a very comfortable exhibition experience for muxi. The exhibition is very good, not many people. Everyone is basically quiet.

Whether in Prado Art Museum or the Museum of Queen Sofia National Art Center, which collects Picasso's guernica, Yang Yuan sees pilgrims. Without prompting, everyone said that they would not take pictures, and spontaneously kept a certain distance from the artwork and stopped to enjoy it.

Netizen's viewpoint

Xiong Haizi is not the only one who destroys works of art.

The destruction of works of art is not unique. Just last May, Christie's Spring AuctionNo. 1393 was destroyed in the special exhibition of modern painting and calligraphy in China. The first painting of Ren Bonian's Four Screens of Flowers and Birds was torn up by a child in the preview, so Christie's had to temporarily withdraw the auction.

It is also reported that on June 29th, 20 12, a man smashed a big hole in Monet's famous painting "Sailboat on the Seine River in Argentina Basin" at the National Gallery of Ireland, and nearly14 was damaged, and a large number of oil painting pigments fell off. This painting was created by Monet in 1874, and it is the only Monet work in the collection. At that time, the value was as high as 7.8 million pounds, about 747 1 10,000 yuan.

The staff of an art museum in Shanghai recalled that some exhibition works were damaged by the audience many years ago. A child broke the glass cabinet while running, causing all the exhibits in it to break, but because he is a child, he is not liable for compensation. Before holding an exhibition, art galleries usually buy insurance for each work. If it is damaged, the insurance company can compensate. However, whether there is economic loss or not, the works will be damaged, which will eventually affect the reputation of the art museum.

In the exhibition hall of the art museum, there are usually one or two security guards on duty 24 hours a day. Many art galleries will set up 1 rice noodles in front of their works, even so, accidents cannot be completely avoided. It is impossible for an art gallery to have security in front of every work, and it is inevitable to lose sight of one thing and lose sight of another. In fact, 1 rice noodle is only a symbolic stop, and many foreign 1 rice noodles are only 20 cm from the ground. It prevents those who don't want to destroy their own works. The staff member said.

Previously, Xiong Haizi destroyed the exhibits in Shanghai Glass Art Museum. From the on-site monitoring, two Xiong Haizi directly rushed into the 1 m guardrail and shook and pulled the exhibits. This also proves that the function of 1 rice flour is more to remind the audience to watch the exhibition in a civilized way. Generally, valuable works will have special security measures. However, some artists asked not to pull 1 rice noodles, hoping to be closer to the audience.

So, should museums give priority to ensuring the safety of works or the audience experience? In fact, neither side can neglect the work of the other. Works of art must be uncomfortable to see through a layer of glass. The service object of the art museum is the visitors, so they can't be prevented from being thieves. The art gallery is a public cultural space. But respecting every piece of art on display is also a basic social morality. Shi, an art critic and curator, said that there were many incidents of vandalism of famous paintings in history, some of which were out of personal preference, but there were also political, religious and moral factors. For example, when Serrano's photographic work "Immersing Christ in Urine" was exhibited, many people threw rotten eggs at it.

It's too easy to destroy a work in an art gallery. Last year, Shi also visited tate modern and found that, like other art galleries in Europe and America, only a few particularly precious works were protected by glass covers. If you get too close, there will be an alarm or a safety reminder, but many works are naked exhibitions.

Have a basic respect for art

A few days ago, Shi went to Shanghai to watch The Birth of Fine Arts: from The Sun King to the collection exhibition of Napoleon's Paris National Academy of Fine Arts, he was deeply impressed by the security measures: I saw a lady touching the work gently, and the security guard stopped it immediately after seeing it, and told her not to leave for the time being, and she needed to find an expert to confirm whether the work was damaged. This protection is very professional.

Some people say that art galleries are a mirror of society. Shi believes that many viewers can't understand the creation of contemporary artists, or don't agree with the meaning of their works, so they go home to surf the Internet and make vulgar verbal attacks on them, which is similar to tearing up in art galleries and should have basic respect for art.

The act of tearing up Picasso's paintings reminds Shi of a hot news that happened not long ago. At an auction in Sotheby's, the famous painting "Girl and Balloon" by British graffiti artist Banks was sold for 6.5438+0.042 million pounds, and then it was cut into pieces in full view. It is said that all this is concocted by artists themselves. Perhaps this kind of behavior is more suitable to prove the greatest value of art than tearing up Picasso, that is, living in people's hearts forever. The artist chooses such a special occasion to reflect on the classic art and the art market, provided that it is his own work, not others'.

Art museum is the weak side, so it can only strengthen safety management and improve the risk dispersion mechanism of insurance. Gan Zhiyi, director of Shanghai Minsheng Modern Art Museum, said that in addition to strengthening security, the museum will also launch a risk diversification mechanism. Besides buying insurance for the exhibits, you also need to buy public liability insurance. For example, if the audience accidentally falls down in an art gallery and the exhibits are damaged, they can claim compensation through public liability insurance, but this is often ignored by many art galleries.

In addition, in terms of collections, art galleries will also be equipped with different protection measures according to different levels of works. Tate modern is a very professional art museum with rich cultural heritage. This incident should not be a technical and management problem, and they will also have corresponding risk prevention mechanisms. If this torn work is placed in the China Art Museum, it may be regarded as the treasure of the town hall, but for Tate, this work may not have reached the highest level of protection. I believe that with the present technical means, it is possible to repair the work. Gan Zhiyi said.

What is the value of art?

When the news that Picasso's "Bust of Women" was torn came out, many netizens swaggered and brazenly said that I could draw this kind. How simple. What is the value of a famous painting or artwork? Once again become the center of the topic.

The value of art is to live in people's hearts forever. This is the birthday summary of talk show actor Lee. Not long ago, a debate on the variety show "The Story of Qi Dad" was on fire. The topic is that the art gallery is on fire. When I can only save one, which one should I choose? On the one hand, it is priceless art. If it is saved, one more famous painting will be handed down from generation to generation. On the other side is a seemingly insignificant cat, which represents the fresh value of life. On Li's birthday, the person who chose to save the cat made an amazing statement. The best destination of painting is burning. More beautiful than the Mona Lisa is the burning Mona Lisa. In his view, the value of works of art is endowed by people. The more stories of famous paintings, the more valuable they are. What is a better story than burning?

Save the painting or the cat? This is Li Dan's argument in "Seven Pa Shuo".

Of course, this may just be a joke in a variety show. In history, this view can only be regarded as a literary expression. Works of art have both material and spiritual significance. Art history cannot be written out of thin air. Many classic works of art are owned by human beings. They are appreciated and recognized by human beings. Deliberately destroying it, no matter what the motive, is not conducive to the progress of human civilization. On the other hand, taking Picasso as an example, the artistic value of his works has been recognized by the world, even though it has not been fully understood by the public. Exhibition in art galleries is a means to popularize art, and ignorance cannot be a reason to tear it up, otherwise everyone can only watch Tik Tok.

Yang Yuan said that the value of art is defined by the superposition of history and each generation. Some works of art may not be accepted by the public, but they bear the special significance of that era, and may also be scarce material evidence to supplement the historical chronicle. We have to admit that many aesthetics that have been respected by generations have nothing to do with us. Art can cross the long river of history, and when we see it today, we will be fascinated at once. The tearing up of "Bust of Women" destroyed the museum's trust in visitors. It will be a pity for us if we can't watch historical masterpieces up close in the future.

This is a social news, which is only related to art. Fu Jun, deputy director of the Art Museum of Shanghai Oil Painting Sculpture Institute, believes that such a thing in the Art Museum is a small probability event, and the public does not need to over-interpret it. In his view, it may be more noteworthy that Picasso's famous paintings worth 65.438+0.8 billion yuan were torn. Compared with Picasso, perhaps what attracts the public's attention is the 65.438+0.8 billion yuan before us.

In fact, there are many works of similar value in tate modern, but 65.438+0.8 billion yuan was singled out, obviously because China people are particularly sensitive to prices. For ordinary people, works of art are often sky-high, and often the most exciting thing is how many hundreds of millions have been auctioned. Perhaps it is the hot search point to tear the painting with 65.438+0.8 billion yuan. It doesn't matter whose work it is, but the attention to artistic works can't always stay on the price. Fu Jun said.

Unfortunately, what can be found in art news is often content other than art. Fu Jun hopes that the public can pay more attention to the art itself and not just stay curious.
