FINE PRINT

This past February, a man walked into the Pérez Art Museum Miami and, in an alleged act of protest, grabbed a sculptural work from a pedestal and smashed it to the ground. The sculpture, a painted Han Dynasty-era jar from Ai Weiwei's Colored Vases project (2006–12), was initially valued by the museum at USD 500,000.
