Roy Lichtenstein Painting Slashed By Woman in Vienna
Roy Lichtestein, Nudes in Mirror.



VIENNA, AUSTRIA.-A 35-year-old woman from Munich in Germany slashed four times a Roy Lichtenstein painting that is on exhibition at the Kunsthaus Bregenz museum in Vienna. The police reported that the woman pulled a jack-knife from her bag this past Saturday and slashed the “Nudes in Mirror” work by Lichtestein. After this happened, staff and visitors stopped her. The painting is worth several million dollars. According to Austrian news agency APA, the woman stated that painting at the Kunsthaus Bregenz museum was not authentic.

Rudolf Sagmeister, curator of the exhibition, said, "Of course the painting is a real Lichtenstein." He also said that the painting was damaged, rather than destroyed and that it could be restored. It was insured for around 4 million euros.
