Whoever was responsible for the safety of that piece of glass is the person who is at fault. That glass was always going to break. It's the nature of glass to break. If the art was valuable enough to avoid breaking forever, then the art was valuable enough to stash in such a manner that it can be seen, but not broken accidentally.
Next, it wouldn't be the first time a piece of art was staged to be broken, it's a known scam to arrange such an accident and then demand compensation. Someone tried it with me in a semi-private museum once, I backed up, but I caught the thing. And the scam. Another event was when I was a kid in Spain. My brother and I had just left a room containing an ironwork I had noticed had hinges, but the collapse was triggered too late. We weren't in there. Anyway, it is a mere tweak to add insurance to that scam. Makes me wonder about this story. Was there insurance? Another question naturally follows but a lot of people wouldn't like it.
I think some photos are in order here. One of the piece before it was destroyed and after. I would think a photo of your ass would be included. Thanks.
Fantastic writing as usual. I doubt that was “Art” It might of looked and smelled like art but wasnt. People with money dont know what art is.
You have a tremendous career behind you. And ahead of you. Keep Going.
This one stomps the gas when Joey swings by to say: “OK. We need to leave.”
hahahahaha yikes hahaha
This is read out loud while laughing your ass off funny. Another great piece by my favorite culture writer. Keep em coming!
You just broke my heart with your ass.

I, too, have broken things with my ass. I feel your pain. We must forge ahead, not behind.

I could listen to your essays and stories 24/7. No pressure, though! I'm with Dave--keep 'em coming!
Thanks for that. 👧
I felt your pain. Rice-sized shards of glass, poisonous shame, shocking redemption and return of your value.
Damn, girl. 🖤
