Odd Stories: Patina Falls Victim to Cleaning


Dortmund, Germany – A cleaning woman accidentally damaged a piece of art valued at $1.1-million dollars. The work of art, Martin Kippenberger's “When It Starts Dripping from the Ceiling”, remains in its place after the cleaner scrubbed away a patina meant to look like a dried rain puddle, Reuters reports.

It's not yet determined if the patina would be restored or kept in its current condition but the insurance adjusters are assessing the damage. Dortmund city spokeswoman Dagmar Papajewski said the company employing the cleaning staff told them to stay at least eight inches away from the piece and it's not exactly sure why the patina suffered such a fate.
