Although I am no proponent of destroying art, it is hard to fault the Miami artist's logic in smashing one of Weiwei's coloured vases...

Isn't the museum free to display what they want, international or not ?

The man on the local news called it a vaise.

Absolutely.

Nevertheless, the local artist's performance is so closely integrated with that of the original artist that there is a satisfying artistic symmetry produced. I hope he gets off lightly, indeed, maybe even given his own exhibition now that he has sparked some notoriety.

More "art" has been destroyed!

at least the cleaner had good sense considering what rubbish was thrown out

I think I might put the bag of recycling from my kitchen on eBay.. see if any 'art collectors' will buy it. Couple hundred quid and it's theirs.. Steal!

better still ..why don't you lovingly collect scoop up your own shit and package it? and then get it authenticated and appraised ... you might make a small fortune

A hundred grand for some shit in beans can?? Seriously who are these nut jobs who buys this shit (sorry for the pun)!!?? It's unbelievable..

The piece received media coverage due to a lawsuit in the mid-1990s, when an art museum in Randers, Denmark was accused by art collector John Hunov of causing leakage of a can which had been on display at the museum in 1994. Allegedly, the museum had stored the can at irresponsibly warm temperatures. The lawsuit ended with the museum paying a DKK 250,000 settlement to the collector .. I have heard it all now!

I wonder how much I would get if I pissed in a coke bottle!
