News of the day: “A valuable avant garde painting has been vandalised by a ‘bored’ security guard who drew eyes on faceless figures in the artwork on his first day working in a Russian gallery. Anna Leporskaya’s Three Figures was painted between 1932 and 1934…. It was on display as part of an abstract art exhibition at the Boris Yeltsin Presidential Center in Ekaterinburg when the guard drew eyes on it using a ballpoint pen. (…) ‘His motives are still unknown but the administration believes it was some kind of a lapse in sanity,’ [the exhibition’s curator] said.”
