The work on display at the National Gallery of Australia is protected by a glass frame that has prevented damage
Two climate change activists have painted and pasted pictures of Andy Warhols Campbell’s soup cans at the National Gallery of Australia (NGA).
In particular, members of the ‘Stop Fossil Fuel Subsidies’ organization have taken responsibility for the vandalism, which they have used to send a message to the Australian government to stop supporting the oil, gas and coal industry, according to the Australian network ABC.
The images published by the activists show several blue doodles at work, dubbed “Campbell’s Soup I,” although it is protected by a glass frame that has prevented damage.
“Australia must step up (the fight), we cannot reduce CO2 while we continue to approve new coal and gas,” the campaign group said in a message on its Twitter account.
This protest adds to others that have taken place in recent weeks, such as those of two Just Oil environmentalists who threw tomato soup at Van Gogh’s ‘Sunflowers’ exhibited at the National Gallery in London, or those who opposed the frames of the paintings of ‘Las Majas’ by Goya in the Prado Museum in Madrid.
