CCTV shows couple in Seoul daubing over $500,000 graffiti artwork
The Peninsula
A couple in South Korea accused of damaging artwork by American graffiti artist JonOne said they had mistakenly thought they were allowed to daub paint on the piece as "participatory art," the head of the exhibition said on Friday.
The 240cm by 700cm untitled artwork is estimated to be worth as much as $500,000 and was painted by JonOne in 2016 in front of an audience at Seoul's Lotte World Mall. Paint and brushes from the live performance have been on the ground in front of the painting ever since and considered part of the artwork.More Related News
