Activists threw flour at Andy Warhol’s work in Milan – Watch video

Activists for the climate they flew today flour above in a sports car painted by American pop artist Andy Warhol and which is exhibited in the financial capital of Italy.

The BMW Art Car looked like it had been covered in a thin layer of snow after today’s attack.

Warhol painted it in 1979, the same year it took part in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France, before being retired from the road and placed in a museum.

As APE-MPE reminds, the third time this month that activists by the team Ultima Generazione (Last Generation) they target art exhibitions.

On November 4, protesters threw soup at a work by Van Gogh in Rome and on November 15 they threw black liquid on a Gustav Klimt painting in Vienna. Both works were protected by glass and were not damaged.

Ultima Generazione’s actions to push for tougher climate action to tackle global warming coincide with climate talks in Egypt.

The COP27 climate change conference was scheduled to end today but is expected to be extended as delegates from nearly 200 countries try to agree on how to proceed.
