Woman Fined $1,400 for Adding Googly Eyes to $88,000 Sculpture
A woman faced legal consequences after she was caught gluing googly eyes onto a public art piece known as the "Blue Blob." The sculpture, which carries an estimated value of $88,000, was altered by the addition of the plastic eyes, leading the woman to plead guilty to the act. She was subsequently ordered to pay a $1,400 fine for the modification. The incident has sparked online debate regarding the nature of art, the valuation of modern sculptures, and the humorous visual impact of the unauthorized addition to the blue, humanoid-shaped figure.
Blue blob sculptures are trendy.
Why would that thing not have googly eyes by default? They fit perfectly
How the hell is that thing worth 88k? Money laundering much?
The fine is now legal proof that the modification belongs to her. So unless they removed the eyes, if those eyes ever make the sculpture more valuable in the future she can legally claim she contributed to the art.
Great, now do it to the Martin Luther King turd sculpture
love how they just come up with numbers for artwork
Max Rebo?
Art is meant to grow. It’s a living expression of the times. And the times demand googly eyes.
She should have claimed that the act of putting the googly eyes on was itself an art piece.
Should pay her 1400 for making it better.
