🥥 Eye don't know what Eye like but Eye DO know art!
This unauthorized work hung by an employee in an art museum exhibition is ART, and the artist should NOT have been sacked. 🥥

🥥 The punishment of firing and a 3-year ban for the artist is grossly excessive in my opinion, Anathema.
As some paragraphs lower down in The Guardian story point out, after a similar event happened in Bonn, the museum there expressed amusement on social media and asked the artist to come forward.
She did, and she sold her painting for nearly 4,000 Euros. 🥥
