Mary Catherine Gallagher LIVES!
An art student fell into a $130 million dollar Picasso and RIPPED IT! The first thing I thought of when I heard this was “Mary Catherine Gallagher LIVES!”
Jan. 25 (Bloomberg) — A Picasso painting, worth more than $130 million by some estimates, was gouged on Friday at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art when a museumgoer fell into the artwork, leaving a six-inch gash.The 1904-1905 painting, “The Actor,” depicting a graceful, gaunt male figure in a dusty pink costume on stage, was hung in a second-floor gallery among a display of early Picasso artworks.
An unidentified woman attending a museum class “lost her balance” and crashed into the artwork, according to a museum statement. The woman was not injured, said Elyse Topalian, a museum spokeswoman. The painting received a vertical tear in the lower right hand corner, the statement said. “Actor” was worth about $130 million, according to a New York art dealer.
I haven’t seen Molly Shannon’s character, “Mary Catherine Gallagher” in a long while. Who knew she had become an art student in New York? Hope they get the Picasso fixed. I’m sure she said she was “Sorry!”…
