BBC: "A bag of rubbish that was part of a Tate Britain work of art has been accidentally thrown away by a cleaner.
The bag filled with discarded paper and cardboard was part of a work by Gustav Metzger, said to demonstrate the 'finite existence' of art.
It was thrown away by a cleaner at the London gallery, which subsequently retrieved the damaged bag.
The 78-year-old artist replaced it with a new bag. The gallery would not reveal whether he would be compensated."
Jesus! When artists don't even understand their own work, it's time to kick them out of all galleries.
That cleaner deserves part if not all of the money the artist got. Who is demonstrating the 'finite existence' of art better than that cleaner? That moron of an artist has even replaced the bag. I'll tell you, that cleaner is an artist. This was the ultimate work of art, the crown on the work. Once again the artist was shown to be an emperor without clothes. Hail to the cleaners!
