Multi-million euro painting slashed by visitor

A visitor to an Austrian museum pulled a pocket knife from her purse and repeatedly slashed a painting by US artist Roy Lichtenstein worth millions of euro, police said.

The woman, a 35-year-old resident of Munich in Germany, was visiting the Kunsthaus Bregenz exhibit “Roy Lichtenstein – Classic of the New” yesterday afternoon when she vandalised the painting “Nudes in Mirror”.
