(the artist working on "Office Baroque" 1977)
gymnast vandalises two Matta-Clark works

"The 35-year-old woman, who was not identified but was known to police for causing disturbances, attacked 'Office Baroque,' a cutout section of wall by American artist Gordon Matta-Clark. She did a series of head-over-heels flips before landing on the work in a handstand, punching both her arms through the drywall, said Klaus Dieter Lehmann, president of Berlin's Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation. She then ran across the large room, pushing over a section of a spray-painted truck called 'Graffiti Truck,' also by Matta-Clark, bending back the metal roof." Posted by Hello
