I am currently beginning research for a museum and gallery studies thesis on the
topic of vandalism in art galleries.  As part of my research I am collecting art
vandalism case studies, and I was wondering if anyone on the list has had
experience of acts of vandalism in their gallery (I will be considering both
minor and major acts of vandalism - everything from pen graffiti to serious
physical assualts on art works, ie. knife/acid attacks).
I would be really grateful if anyone would be willing to share their experiences
in this field.  In addition to collecting details of case studies, I am
particularly interested in responses to occurences of vandalism, from the
gallery, its public and the media, and the effectiveness of any subsequent
changes implemented by the gallery.
Many thanks,
