Nicer than Violence: Affectionate Destruction

Thick as Thieves

Have you ever been so overwhelmed when viewing an artwork that you felt compelled to kiss it? This week, Veronica and Sara take a look at multiple instances where that exact compulsion led to the defacement of famous works from Andy Warhol, Francois Boucher and Cy Twombly. As a bonus, they let us in on a little Minneapolis secret akin to the mile high club involving a sexy spoon.
