He did those faces a service if you ask me 🤣
Now, a freshly hired security guard is in hot water after vandalizing a painting on his very first day... just because he was bored.Three Figures
, which is valued at $1 million and considered a part of the country's cultural heritage, was discovered to have two pairs of rudimentary eyes drawn in ballpoint pen.The arts center handed in a statement to the local authorities a couple weeks after museum visitors alerted the staff that the painting had been defaced.
Luckily for the security guard, the cost to fully restore the painting isn't that bad, averaging out to be a little below $3K. And while the security guard will almost definitely end up being the one to foot the bill, he also may face up to three months in prison if the local police go through with pressing criminal charges.
As for the painting, it is currently being transported back to the State Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow so it can be restored. In the meantime, the Yeltsin Center has put protective screens over all their paintings as an added precaution.
