Picasso Vandalised

Picasso’s Woman in a Red Armchair (1929) painting has been vandalised at The Menil Collection. The vandalism happened on Wednesday afternoon, where footage of the vandalism was caught on video. Menil spokesman Vance Muse said that museum security officers detected the vandalism almost immediately, when the paint was barely dry. Chief conservator Brad Epley began repair work immediately, and Muse says the painting has “an excellent prognosis”.
