LAM Museum Technician Accidentally Trashes Beer Can Artwork
Occasionally, museum employees find it challenging to discern between art and everyday items, as demonstrated in a recent occurrence at the LAM Museum in the Netherlands. In this case, an elevator maintenance worker, temporarily replacing a regular staff member, mistakenly discarded Alexandre Lavet’s All the Good Times We Spent Together (2016), assuming it was waste. The artwork, comprising two hand-painted beer cans designed to symbolize nostalgic friendships, had been strategically positioned inside an elevator shaft to resemble something carelessly left behind.
