why does nobody tell us what the artwork was

In a previous article on this topic, I recall the museum saying they would not be showing the piece in an effort to discourage copycats.

That gallery both doesn't know the Streissand affect, AND true art. All they're now doing is helping spread it.

really REALLY boneheaded.

Right? There's like one point of interest in this story, and instead of showing it they're estimating how much it costs to fill 2 screw holes (for which the claimed €100 seems like a gross overestimation unless they pay their maintenance staff way more than I expect).
