On October 14, at the National Gallery in London, environmental activists from the Just Stop Oil movement poured tomato soup on Vincent Van Gogh’s painting “Sunflowers.”
This was done as a sign of protest against the issuance of licenses for the development of new oil fields.
This is reported on the movement’s website.
What happened
At about 11 a.m., two environmental activists first doused “Sunflowers” with tomato soup and then glued themselves to the wall next to the painting with superglue.
What is worth more, art or people’s lives?! – shouted one of the activists in response to the indignant cries of museum visitors.
The painting, worth more than $80 million, was protected by glass and was not damaged, the gallery said.
