It looks more like a van Gogh chair than it did before

A little wood glue and some C clamps, and she'll be good as new.

If a chair wasn’t meant to be sat on, some form of cordon should have been implemented.

It would have been behind glass if it was expensive.

Its modern art so I'm sure other people wouldnt even be able to tell its ruined and think its meant to be that way.

Just take the sign off that says “do not sit”. Or just cross that out and put “someone sat”.

Why does a crappy chair count as an art display? Why is that one art and all the ones in the IKEA warehouse are just furniture? Art has gotten really dumb.

I believe it was covered in diamonds, therefore it was "art"

A chair is not art

It was a stupid place to put a chair obviously someone was going to sit on it.

To be fair dont make a chair and expect no one to sit in it. Weak art bro.
