Fun and Games and Art

An avant-garde piece of German art worth $90,000 featuring a partially filled-in crossword puzzle inspired a 91-year-old woman to the point where she picked up her pen and filled in the squares.

The retired dentist was visiting a museum in Nuremburg when she fell for Arthur Köpcke’s tour de force, “Reading-work-piece,” hook, line and sinker.

[...]

She noted that the museum should have made it crystal clear that visitors were not to fill in the crossword

“Reading-work-piece” is insured for €80,000. While acknowledging that the pensioner “did not mean any harm,” museum curator Eva Kraus said they were obligated to report the damage to police, Die Welt reported.

And that reminded me of this oldie but goodie.



Sad, and yet hysterical.

.....but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
