Update: The Verdict is in for Twombly Kisser
Rindy Sam, the French artist who was arrested for planting a crimson kiss on an all-white Cy Twombly canvas, has been ordered to pay 1,500 euros to the painting’s owner, as well as a symbolic £1 to Twombly himself.
The painting is worth about $2.8 million and the prosecution claimed that 30 different products have been unsuccessful in removing Sam’s “act of love.” The owner, Yvon Lambert, had sought roughly the cost of the painting in damages.
The French judge also ordered Sam to complete 100 hours of community service.
