According to yahoo.com a painting by artist Pablo Picasso was damaged last week when a woman attending an art class lost her balance and fell into the painting. The painting called "The Artist" which was painted in 1904/05 suffered a rip in the lower right hand corner. Luckily not in a focal point. A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Museum of Art said the painting will be repaired in the next few weeks before their new major display of Picasso pieces opens.
