British artist Anish Kapoor — who designed the Orbital tower at London’s 2012 Olympic grounds — has a series of sculptures on display on the grounds at Versailles, and one piece, called “Dirty Corner,” was recently vandalized with anti-Semitic graffiti.
Kapoor initially stated an intention to leave the graffiti intact as an indictment of a culture that would produce such hatred, but the content of the graffiti upset many people, and it has now been painted over.
Disgraceful.
this wasn’t the first incident of this piece of artwork being attacked. it was previously damaged in june of 2015
