A federal grand jury indicted a pair of climate activists on Wednesday for smearing paint on the display case holding Edgar Degas’s sculpture ‘Little Dancer Aged Fourteen’ at Washington, DC’s National Gallery of Art.
Timothy Martin and Joanna Smith and a group of unnamed conspirators allegedly entered the museum on April 27 at 11:30 a.m. to make a political statement on climate change by spreading paint on the “case, base and floor” of the exhibit, according to unsealed documents.
