Visitors to Munich’s Pinakothek der Moderne come for modernist treasures by Pablo Picasso, Franz Marc, Oskar Schlemmer, and the like. But this month, some visitors got to see something else they didn’t expect: the work of a museum employee, apparently hung without permission on the walls alongside masterpieces of the 20th century.
The German outlet Süddeutsche Zeitung reported news of the guerrilla presentation on Monday, noting that the police are now investigating the incident. Per the police, the artist was a 51-year-old employee in the technical services department; he’d allegedly hoped that showing his work in the museum would lead to future opportunities.
