"Andy Warhol’s
Campbell’s Soup Cans at the National Gallery of Australia are
just the latest artistic target of climate protesters, who have been throwing
soup, mashed potatoes and cake at art worth millions of dollars.
The actions have received a muted response from some museum directors, but the
protesters know exactly what they are doing.
As the activists who threw soup on Van Gogh’s
Sunflowers said:
We know that civil resistance works. History has shown us that.
Indeed, there is a long history of museums and art being used for political
protest."
