In a recent incident at Palazzo Maffei in Verona, two tourists nearly damaged a fragile artwork known as Van Gogh's Chair, made from Swarovski crystals, while taking photos. The video footage shows the woman carefully posing, while the man sat on the chair, causing it to buckle under his weight. Following the incident, the museum reported the event to police and stated that the chair had been repaired. Artist Nicola Bolla called it idiotic but also suggested there was a positive aspect to the situation, reflecting on its potential as performance art.
The incident at Palazzo Maffei, involving clumsy tourists nearly damaging a fragile artwork, has highlighted the delicate balance between art appreciation and personal folly.
Artist Nicola Bolla recognized the absurdity of the situation, stating, "It's like a kind of performance. Ordinary people can do it too, not just artists."
