German cleaner cleans Kippenberger art piece to destruction

Dortmund - A German cleaner has destroyed an art installation by the late artist Martin Kippenberger that was on loan to the Ostwall Museum, Dortmund, Germany, from a private collector.

Over zealous cleaning by a German museum cleaner has destroyed an art installation on loan by a private collector to the Ostwall Museum in Dortmund. “When It Starts Dripping From The Ceilings" is a piece of art by the acclaimed German artist Martin Kippenberger, who died in 1997. Prior to its cleaning the piece was valued at $1.1 million by insurers. The Herald Sun described the piece as "a tower of wooden slats under which a rubber trough was placed with a thin beige layer of paint representing dried rain water." Mistaking the paint for a stubborn stain the cleaner scrubbed away at it until it was gleaming. The Telegraph reported that museum spokesperson Dagmar Papajewski said "It is now impossible to return it to its original state." Papajewski also said that the cleaner may not have been made aware by the outside contractor of the museums rules that cleaners should remain at least 20cms away from the art on display.

That wasn't actually bad for an artist, i've seen much worst "Shit" art that was just ridiculous.
take Yu Kobayashi for example , this is what she made.

 

or for REAL "Piss poor" artists, try  andres serrano, why i say piss poor you ask? well you can wiki it.

Tl;dr.

he actually use his piss and semen to produce his "Art" , and was most famous of a picture of him pissing on a small figure of jesus , that picture made him an "Artist" , or "arts" by him are pictures of piss and jizz mixed together.

more of his "Arts" include old people having sex, a woman holding a horse's dick, a woman in lingerie stained in her period's blood, and some other "shit" like that

Just because you don't understand it doesn't mean the problem lies with the art.

A lot of so called modern "art" can be viewed as shit to most people. Hell, I might as well be an "artist". I could take a shit in a can and sell it for a mass profit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artist%27s_shit

"Artist's Shit (Italian: "Merda d'artista") is a 1961 artwork by the Italian artist Piero Manzoni. The work consists of 90 tin cans, each 30 grams and measuring 4.8x6.5cm, with a label in Italian, English, French, and German stating:

    Artist's Shit                                                        
    Contents 30 gr net
    Freshly preserved
    Produced and tinned
    in May 1961

A tin was sold for €124,000 at Sotheby's on May 23 2007; in October 2008 tin 083 was offered for sale at Sotheby's with an estimate of £50-70,000. It sold for £97,250. The cans were originally to be valued according to their equivalent weight in gold — $37 each in 1961 — with the price fluctuating according to the market"

I think you overuse the term 'politically correct'. You use it to liberally, and in contexts where it makes no sense.

Also, I don't understand why you hope to achieve by flashing your ignorance. Just because you don't understand art doesn't mean you should vent your frustration on artists or connosseurs. You're just displaying the same attitude the masses have always manifested towards art that was contemporary to them.
