A Colorado woman was arrested after pulling down her pants and punching a $30 million painting -- before urinating against it. Carmen Tisch, 36, is accused of causing $10,000 worth of damage to the Clyfford Still oil-on-canvas last week at a Denver museum dedicated to the late abstract artist. Tisch was believed to have been drunk when she attacked the 9.5-foot artwork, entitled "1957-J-No.2," at around 3:30pm local time on Dec 29, the Denver Post reported. She pulled her pants down in the Clyfford Still Museum, according to a police report, and leaned against the iconic painting, before punching it. She then slid down the artwork and urinated on herself, according to the criminal case against her. "It doesn't appear she urinated on the painting or that the urine damaged it, so she's not being charged with that," Denver District Attorney's Office spokeswoman Lynn Kimbrough said Wednesday. Authorities said the work, which is valued between $30 million and $40 million, had visible scratches on it as a result of the attack. Ivar Zeile, owner of Denver's Plus Gallery, said that it may be possible to restore the painting, but the value could be affected. "It does damage the piece, though, even people just knowing that happened," he said. Tisch was charged with criminal mischief and was being held Thursday in the Denver County Jail on $20,000 bond. She was due to appear in Denver County Court Friday morning.
Whos fault is this really? The drunk woman stumbling through a museum or the idiot the decided to put a $30 million dollar painting with in arms reach of people? I got a $25 dollar helmet signed by the 1996 Patriots and its prob only worth about $200 bucks. But I treat that helmet like the crown jewels. If I ever had to display it somewhere I'd would have it so high up and away you'd need a step ladder to reach it. Shit has autographs by Curtis Martin, Drew Bledsoe and Sam Gash. Talkin serious shit here. I'm no museum director but I would strongly advise putting our million dollar paints where classy broads like Carmen Tisch here couldn't reach em.

How the fuck was this chick supposed to get urine on a painting? I've had some monumental piss streams in my day but I don't think I could piss higher than about 5 ft in the air. Not sure how strong of a hose this bitch has but if she could hit a painting on a wall I'd bet my life savings she has a dick.
