French-Cambodian woman Rindy Sam was fined in 2007 for kissing and consequently leaving a lipstick smear on Cy Twombly's untitled triptych, which was in display at the Lambert Collection in Avignon, France.
Ms Sam told a court she was "overcome by passion" when she saw the all-white canvas. "I just gave it a kiss. It was an act of love when I kissed it. I wasn't thinking, I thought the artist would understand," she said at the time. (BBC News)
Worn-out pillowcase... Once Susan Sontag came to me in a dream: oh Susan i cried, stabbing out my cigarette, it?s time to get inked.* On stage, intertwined figures modeled after Giambolognas ?Hercules Carrying the Erymanthian Boar? pushed up against the tight background. Again, it is difficult to interpret this gesture with any certainty; severed limbs, grasping at the drapery ?eyeless sockets and a mask-like head. The surfaces are textured: blue velvet imitation, permute polyester satin, grey toweling, virgin styrofoam in fresh tagged plastic wrap.
This is an exhibition of lazy extremities and oversized pleasure.
