When Modern Art Is Trash, Literally
From Times Wire Reports
A cleaner at London’s Tate Britain modern art gallery threw out a bag of trash that was part of an artwork, British media reported. The transparent bag -- full of newspaper, cardboard and other paper -- was part of a work by artist Gustav Metzger called a re-creation of his first public showing of auto-destructive art.
The bag was recovered, but it had been damaged and Metzger had to replace it with another one, a Tate spokesman said.
