Child Scratches Rothko Painting Worth $56 Million In Museum

A valuable Mark Rothko painting at the Boijmans Van Beuningen museum in Rotterdam sustained minor scratches after a child in the Netherlands touched it. The museum confirmed the incident and stated they are seeking conservation advice. The damaged painting, described as a meditative color landscape, will undergo treatment for restoration. The child’s identity was not disclosed, and the museum declined to comment on the costs or release images of the damage. Rothko, known for his abstract works, passed away in 1970. His paintings have fetched millions at auctions, with one selling for $86.9 million in 2012. (People)
