Woman tried to urinate on painting worth $30 million, police say

Admit it, you've probably walked through an art museum at some point and sneered, "Any 3-year-old could have done that."

But Denver police say Carmen Lucette Tisch took her apparent disdain for celebrated artist Clyfford Still's multimillion-dollar artwork one step beyond the snarky. Tisch is accused of trying to damage the abstract painting, above, by punching it and scratching it during a Dec. 29 visit to the new Clyfford Still Museum in Denver.

Witnesses said she also pulled down her pants and tried to urinate on the painting, although that isn't one of the charges she faces.

"It doesn't appear she urinated on the painting or that the urine damaged it, so she's not being charged with that," said Lynn Kimbrough, a spokeswoman for the Denver district attorney's office, in an interview with the Denver Post.

Did we mention that the painting is estimated to be worth $30 million to $40 million?

HOW can a simple painting cause such insane urges in a person? It's just a f'n painting!

 

[Galactic]

I want to piss on that woman. Badly.

 

[Facetious]

Wrong Assignment, BITCH!!! ... Ask Galactic, he knows.

Exactly. If ANYTHING should have been pissed on, it's those pieces of "art" at Dia...

Classy.

I want to know who is willing to pay $30-$40 million. If a painting like that is a collectors cup of tea, I know a classroom full of first graders that I wouldn't mind brokering a deal with for them.

She's the future Mrs. LukeEl that's my kind of tattooed girl.

She'll probably wait until you're aspleep then urinate on you in your bed after every fight you have, that's the kinda girl she is

The funny thing is that had the artist urinated on their own painting at the time of creation, it would probably be worth 50 instead of 30, for being more creative you know!

It's cynical no-one ever done that on the tattooed 'art' work on her body, valued on an estimated price of an empty bottle of vodka and a bad blowjob

 

[STDiva]

I'd tap that. Good for her. Art is a joke. $30 million? Gimme a break.

 

[jod0565]

Maybe she got it - it looks like the paint ran.

 

[Hypergalaxy]

In her defense any 3 year old could paint that.

 

[GodsEmbryo]

In her defense any 3 year old could paint that.

They can also urinate like the best
