One of Europe's largest museums for contemporary and modern art fired a member of its technical services team for hanging his own painting in the gallery, hoping to achieve artistic success.
The museum terminated the employee's contract and banned him from the premises after discovering the unauthorized artwork, leading to a police investigation over property damage caused by drilling holes for the display.
The Pinakothek der Moderne, situated in Munich's Kunstareal museum quarter, took action after the incident, despite the painting's short-lived display due to vigilant staff noticing the unauthorized addition.
