A Rip in the Sky
"Night Sky #2," a 18"x21½" painting by Vija Celmins owned by the Art institute of Chicago, was slashed by a contract security guard while on loan for a show at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh.
His alleged reason? He didn't like it. That's some pretty harsh art criticism.
Museum officials are now determining whether the painting, valued at $1.2 million, can be restored.
