    A chair frame covered in glued on glass rhinestones doesn’t really sound priceless. It looks like something you’d buy at TJ Maxx.

      Not even a chair frame, but likely a wire frame, probably covered in foil and then crystals. That’s a common method for art pieces. This wasn’t a chair covered in crystals, but a ‘delicate internal structure’ in a chair shape.

      e: that’s probably also why it was fairly easy to fix: re-bend the wire, then replace any crystals that fell of. This idiot is lucky he didn’t get a stabilising rod up his proverbial.

      I mean, there is that too, lol. I just have better things to do than start a totally subjective art argument.

      Also to that point, they’ve already fixed it. Which might be why they didn’t worry about protecting it that much in the first place.
