MILAN (Reuters) – Environmental protesters on Friday threw flour at the BMW Art Car, a sports car painted in 1979 by American pop-art artist Andy Warhol, on display in Milan, Italy.
Activists from the group Ultima Generazione (“Last Generation”), which initiated this action, also targeted a work by Van Gogh in Rome and a painting by Gustav Klimt in Vienna this month. The two works were protected by glass and were not damaged.
The group calls for stricter political measures against global warming. His recent actions coincide with the United Nations climate summit (COP27) which is due to end on Friday, but which could be prolonged due to ongoing negotiations on the issue of “loss and damage”.
