A woman who lost her balance and tore a hole in a Pablo Picasso painting at the Metropolitan Museum of Art likely cut the $130 million painting's value in half, a top appraiser said yesterday.
Conservators said they will be able to fix the 6-inch tear in "The Actor" (above), but appraiser Gerard van Weyenbergh said the painting may never recover its value.
"It's a 50 percent loss of the value -- at least," van Weyenbergh said...
Museum officials would not identify the woman who fell into the painting... [NY Post]
