BERLIN -- A woman doing handsprings hurled herself into two art installations at the controversial exhibition of a collection belonging to the billionaire heir of a Nazi-era arms supplier, damaging both pieces, organizers said Thursday.
The bizarre attack came late Wednesday on the top floor of the Hamburger Bahnhof museum, where Friedrich Christian Flick's collection was opened to the public earlier in the day.
Yelling loudly, the 35-year-old woman attacked ''Office Baroque,'' a cutout section of wall by American artist Gordon Matta-Clark, doing a series of head-over-heels flips before landing on the work in a handstand, punching her arms through the drywall :shocked:, said Klaus Dieter Lehmann, president of Berlin's Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation. She then pushed over a section of a spray-painted truck called ''Graffiti Truck,'' also by Matta-Clark, bending back the metal roof.As police took the woman into custody, she said, ''Flick, I am satisfied.''
