You think a solid 'whoops, my bad' can cover this? Luckily, the artwork was insured.
Gamson, a Koons fan, was walking around Art Wynwood with a friend when he spotted the blue balloon dog sculpture sitting on an acrylic stand.As soon as he pointed out the sculpture to his friend, Gamson said he saw an older woman tap the sculpture, immediately knocking it off the pedestal. The artwork loudly shattered into pieces, shocking everyone nearby and attracting a horde of people.
Though he doesn’t know for certain, Gamson said he assumes that the woman tapped the sculpture because she was curious if it was a real balloon. It was not. Thankfully for her, there was no “if you break it, you buy it” policy at the booth. Bénédicte Caluch, an art advisor with Bel-Air Fine Art, said the artwork was covered by insurance. No hard feelings.
The woman was an art collector who did not mean to break the piece, Caluch said. Art fair staff quickly swept up the pieces, and nobody was hurt. Though it was a shame that the sculpture shattered, she said the gallery took it in stride.Banksy’s artwork was shredded.Gamson and Caluch both said they had never seen an artwork break at a fair before.
“I find value in it even when it’s broken,” Gamson said. “To me, it’s the story. It makes the art even more interesting.”, in partnership with Journalism Funding Partners, as part of an independent journalism fellowship program. The Miami Herald maintains full editorial control of this work.
