Police arrested a Riposte Alimentaire activist for placing an adhesive sticker on Claude Monet’s Poppies at Argenteuil (1873) at the Musée d’Orsay. The painting was protected by glass.
In a video posted to X/Twitter, the protestor can be seen placing an adhesive depicting a bleak red landscape over Monet’s painting and gluing her hand to the wall, declaring, ”this nightmarish image awaits us if no alternative is put in place”.
Riposte Alimentaire is the activist group responsible for placing stickers around Delacroix’s ‘Liberty Leading the People’ last month and the soup attack on the Mona Lisa.
