“The man destroyed the large blue and white Porcelain Cube at a busy private opening for the exhibition “Who am I?” at Palazzo Fava in Bologna on the evening of September 21. Local police arrested a 57-year-old Czech man who has been identified in Italian media as Vaclav Pisvejc, a provocateur and self-proclaimed artist known for targeting important works of art.”

      It’s modern art most of it aimed at a moral.

      As a guess I’m going to assume the point is that it’s a fragile extremely delicate vase with literally no purpose as a vase.

      You can’t put anything in it or on it, it’s vapid and empty like… Art.

      I’m gunna guess this is collaborative in some way between the two.

          I saw that piece with my wife and just told her someone broke it and her reaction was “wait, that was actual ceramic? I always tough it was PVC”
