In Madrid, Victor Ruiz Roizo, a struggling artist, used Super Glue to hang one of his paintings in the Prado museum. The work, a painting of a human skull with worms, hung for four days before it was discovered and removed.
"The thing is you approach the art world and the first thing they ask is for your resume," Roizo told the Madrid newspaper El Pais. "I'm no good at public relations and I've barely shown, so I thought it would be good to show with Rembrandt and all those guys."The artist said he had planned his action for weeks, figuring out "what time the most foreign tourists were there so security wouldn't pay attention to what I was carrying, and I acted very fast."
