Paul Klee “Golden Fish” / acid

(In 1977, a man threw acid at this work while it was on view at Germany’s Hamburg Kunsthalle museum. Though damaged, the work was able to be restored.

This was the first of many acts of vandalism made by Hans Joachim Bohlmann, who damaged over 50 different artworks between 1977 and 2006.)
