Iconic Sculpture Targeted By Paint-Wielding Climate Protesters

  • Radical climate change activists targeted another priceless piece of art on Thursday, smearing paint onto the pedestal and glass encasement protecting a famous Edgar Degas sculpture.
  • The vandalism occurred at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and was directed at a sculpture called “Little Dancer Aged Fourteen.”
  • Degas, a French Impressionist, finished the sculpture in 1881, and it has been primarily kept in D.C. since 1999.
