Oh no some rich ass hole lost their rich ass hole stuff. Boo hoo.
Should have kept them in a secure location - like a museum.
But how would he be the only one who gets to enjoy them if they are on display? What’s the point of being rich if you can’t deny poor people pleasure?
But they might have soup splashed on their glass!
I believe the conspiracy that those people work for oil companies with the goal to make all activists look bad
At least you know you're a nutter.
I think the actual nutters are the ones vandalizing priceless landmarks and actually turning the general population against climate activism.
People lost every photo they have of their parents.
People lost every precious thing from their childhood and every family heirloom.
Some people lost their lives.
This guy lost some paintings and gets a NY Times article for it.
This persists as long as we decide this is news worth sharing and discussing. There is a recent meme floating around about how part of media literacy needs to be ignoring bait like this. This article getting no clicks would be the very best outcome.
Yes, I will store the expensive paintings in a house made of toothpicks and cardboard with a tar roof in a state known to have widespread fires every year. It is a good idea.
Knowing what little I know about the fine art market, he can probably have the ashes authenticated and sold for a profit.
$$$ insurance payout
Wouldn't he have to prove ownership? Most likely he lost that too.
people with significant money in art assets have it documented and insured. if he had 30 pieces just by warhols and additional, we're likely talking millions of dollars of assets.
nobody leaves millions of dollars lying around without some sort of insurance
to be honest, this is a great opportunity for him to cash out of all his expensive art in one fell swoop. i would be elated if I were him
oh no.
Anyway...
