Virginia Woman Attacks Another Multimillion-Dollar Painting

This woman needs to be taken out to the woods and put down. She’s obviously not well. “She has been officially barred from all museums and art galleries in the capital. ” Duh!

The woman who attacked a painting earlier this year because of its gay connotations was arrested again this month for attempting to destroy another painting at the National Gallery in Washington, D.C.

Susan Burns, 53, of Alexandria, Va., was arrested after she grabbed Henri Matisse’s 1919 painting The Plumed Hatand slammed it repeatedly against a wall. Her actions damaged the frame, but not the $2.5 million painting, the Associated Press reports. Burns was charged with unlawful entry and taken to a mental health hospital. She has been officially barred from all museums and art galleries in the capital.  MORE

MoMA’s lobby is a site of perpetual flux and frenzy, a public passageway for people to meet, greet, rest, or chat before embarking on their next experience, either inside or outside the Museum’s walls. When asked by Ann Temkin, The Marie-Josée and Henry Kravis Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture, to think of forms that would visually complement and invigorate the rectangular and column-filled lobby space, Paula Hayes, a New York-based sculptor and landscape designer, who enjoys “knocking something off kilter a bit,” was ready to take up the challenge.
