A Colorado woman dropped her pants at a museum and rubbed her rear end all over a painting valued at $30 million, according to police.

Carmen Tisch, 36, was arrested after scratching, punching and, well, rubbing her butt against Clyfford Still's "1957-J no.2" and causing an estimated $10,000 damage to the artwork at the Clyfford Still Museum in Denver. Police believe she was drunk during the late December incident.

When standard toilet paper just won't do. I guess that painting 'moved' her.
 
In a famously cited incident of 1953, [Robert] Rauschenberg erased a drawing by [Willem] de Kooning, which he obtained from his colleague for the express purpose of erasing it as an artistic statement. The result is titled Erased de Kooning Drawing. (Wiki)
Historical precedent of a sort.
 
What the woman did was disgusting but I don't see what makes that painting worth $30 million.
