“Uncommissioned” nude portrait of Brian Cowen hung in galleries
Don’t worry, we have no images of the art in question. From the Sunday Tribune:
an anonymous prankster who hung a nude portrait of Taoiseach Brian Cowen in the hallowed halls of the National Gallery.
The still unidentified renegade artist had painted Cowen as he was sitting on the loo with a roll of toilet paper in his hand. The painter’s attempts at lifting the country’s spirits certainly worked as dozens of visitors to the gallery last week were left chuckling at the unorthodox artwork.
It was not vandalism, a source is quoted as saying it was rather “just adding another one to the collection.” The description card put up along side the art is classic. Read the article.
