The ongoing trend of climate activists desecrating priceless works of art continued in Germany when a pair of young protesters doused a Monet painting in mashed potatoes.
The incident occurred on Sunday at the Museum Barberini in Potsdam, Germany, when two members of the group Letzte Generation (Last Generation) doused Claude Monet’s “Les Meules” painting in mashed potatoes before gluing themselves to the wall. The 130-year-old painting is reportedly worth $111 million.
“If it takes a painting – with #MashedPotatoes or #TomatoSoup thrown at it – to make society remember that the fossil fuel course is killing us all: Then we’ll give you #MashedPotatoes on a painting!” Letzte Generation tweeted Sunday while sharing a video of the incident.
We make this #Monet the stage and the public the audience.
