Sorry for the Dutch article, couldn’t find an English one. But the gist of it is that a guy stole a painting by smashing a window with a sledgehammer during the corona lockdown in the Netherlands. And got away with it.
I’m curious to learn more about the thoughts behind the security measures of museums. Balancing accessibility with “stealability”.
Edit: Here’s an English resource and video: https://nltimes.nl/2020/04/22/video-released-van-gogh-theft-...
You make a style transfer on a photo of 1880. Use the paint of the original van Gogh to paint the styletransfer result. Bring it to the Van Gogh museum and let them authenticate it as the real deal.
You know that paint dries right? How do you plan on rehydrating it?
>Priceless Chinese works of art stolen in audacious robberies from galleries and museum in Britain and Europe are thought to be ending up in private collections belonging to Beijing billionaires.
>Zhao Xu, the director of Beijing Poly Auction, told China Daily: “Buying looted artwork has become high street fashion among China’s elite.”

In terms of ostentatious consumption, I think the ultimate would be Kobe van Gogh steaks.
Those are Kobe Beef steaks grilled over a fire that was built using a van Gogh painting. I hear the old oils based paints when they burn in the fire impart a very distinctive flavor to the meat that just can't be duplicated anywhere else.
It seems a lot of art is used for signaling purposes, aka ostentatious consumption. In terms of ostentatious consumption, I think the ultimate would be Kobe van Gogh steaks.

It's a funny sketch but I really do like it.

So they cook the meat over fire from a rare burning painting?
