Climate activist attacks Gustav Klimt painting while another glues himself to the frame – By Sky News Staff (Sky News) / Nov 15, 2022
In a video of the incident, which the group posted online, one of the climate activists can be heard shouting that “we have known about the problem for 50 years – we must finally act, otherwise the planet will be broken”.
Climate activists have attacked a painting by Gustav Klimt with a black, oily liquid before another glued himself to its frame.
Members of the group Last Generation Austria attacked the 1915 painting Death And Life at the Leopold Museum in Vienna to protest against their government’s use of fossil energies.
After throwing the liquid on the painting – which was not damaged because it was behind a glass cover – one activist was pushed away by a museum guard while another protester glued his hand to the painting’s frame.
