It’s Really Not That Funny

In the December 2013/ January 2014 issue of the fashion magazine “W” , dubbed “The Art Issue”, there is s a small feature entitled  “Weapons of Art Destruction” which enumerates ten different objects and substances (including a hammer, spray paint, oil paint, urine, and a shotgun) that were used in the destruction of works of art. The tone of the piece is humorous, even a bit mocking. Unfortunately, the destruction of works of art is really not that funny.
