A security guard accused of doodling eyes onto a £740,000 painting's faceless figures at a Russian art gallery suffered a lapse of sanity on his first day, the exhibition' curator said.


To the dismay of many, the guard is said to have drawn two pairs of eyes with a pen onto artist Anna Leporskaya's 'Three Figures' (1932–1934) painting, while it was on display at an abstract art exhibition at the Yeltsin Center in the city of Yekaterinburg, Russia.

The man, has since been fired by the private security firm hired by the gallery and police have opened an investigation into the defacement.

Two visitors at the Yeltsin Center (pictured) spotted the extra details to two of the three figures on the 1930s painting.

The damage to the painting and the restoration has been estimated at £2,470.

That security has itchy hands. He couldn't just resist it.

Village People Dey Follow Russians Too.??

When you don't know the value of something, abuse is inevitable. They should have taken him round to tell him the value of each object in that place before employing him. I remember some years ago in Lagos when I wanted to work with an electronics sales company. I was told to bring two guarantors in case I destroy anything in the shop , that was the last time they saw me in that place because I saw even tv sets sold for N9m there and that was many many years ago .

No be juju be that
Oversabi buruku

No na real village people do this guy this one. On his first day at work o!!! Imagine he was left to work there for a week without anybody noticing the defacing of that painting? He would have turned the entire gallery into a children's playground

.

Isn't it better this way?

It actually looks better this way. Don't mind these money-miss-road fellows. They would have raised the worth if it was the originator that drew the eyes. They are only angry because it was a security guard that did it

This is too funny

The security guard did the right thing.

Dude heard the ridiculous amount of money that was paid for a painting without eyes.

yes,buhari must go.

Oh sorry. Wrong thread

Him give am face una say na defacement like WTF?!

They should have leave it like that, years later it becomes history, like these pers of eyes were drawn in the year 2022 by security guard.

This egbere thing at £2470 fine. E be things.

I cherished white people for their spending.
