  8. Why’d they fire him? That’s an “Oh, you!” offense at best.

  10. Probably better than the ‘real’ contemporary art. So they had to take it down..

  11. Let’s hope he doesn’t change hobbies and get into politics.

  12. They missed such a great opportunity here, silly Germans.

  17. Never piss off German artists. It only ends in tears

  21. > The Pinakothek said it would not comment on the painting’s subject or style as doing so could “encourage copycat pranksters”. “All I can say is that we did not receive any positive feedback on the addition from visitors to the gallery,” the spokesperson said.

    No, we will not be showing you his art work. You just had to have been there.

  22. He should have done it on April 1st. They might have let him keep his job.

  23. Let’s prove him right! Anyone has a picture of his painting? Upvote it to eternal fame!

  25. Sometimes you gotta shoot your shot, even if it doesn’t work out.
