A monumental Mark Rothko painting was removed from view at a Dutch art museum after a child scratched the canvas.
荷兰一家艺术博物馆将马克·罗斯科的标志性巨幅画作撤展,起因是一名儿童刮坏了画布。
Grey, Orange on Maroon1, No. 8 was a highlight of the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, which boasts a collection spanning from the middle ages to modern times. It’s one of only two works by the Latvian-American Abstract Expressionist in public collections in the Netherlands.
这幅名为《栗色上的灰橙,8号》的作品是鹿特丹博伊曼斯·范伯宁恩博物馆的镇馆之宝,该馆藏品涵盖从中世纪到现代的艺术珍品。作为拉脱维亚裔美国抽象表现主义画家罗斯科的作品,荷兰公共艺术机构仅收藏了两件,此画便是其中之一。
Conservation experts are now assessing the extent of the damage, as well as the cost of repairing a painting likely worth tens of millions of dollars.
目前文物保护专家正在评估损坏程度,并核算这幅价值可能高达数千万美元画作的修复费用。
While the museum has not provided an estimated cost of the repairs, Rothko works regularly fetch millions at auction2. For example, Orange, Red, Yellow (1961) sold for nearly $87 million in May 2012.
虽然博物馆尚未公布修复估价,但罗斯科作品在拍卖会上通常以千万美元计价——例如其1961年作品《橙、红、黄》就曾在2012年5月以近8700万美元成交。
