Art has been used as a medium for political dissent, with attacks often bringing attention to pressing social issues such as climate change and war.
While vandalism of art can be devastating, many pieces can be painstakingly restored, showcasing resilience and the value of preserving cultural heritage.
Picasso's Guernica, defaced by Tony Shafrazi in 1974, exemplifies how art becomes a focal point for political messages, persisting in cultural memory despite vandalism.
Restoration efforts for famous works like the Portland Vase highlight the careful craftsmanship required to recover artistic integrity after acts of destruction.
