Lipstick on your collar? On our painting?
A woman kissed a Cy Twombly monochrome white painting and left a lipstick stain. She's being prosecuted.
No word in any of the coverage I read about cleaning it.
I don't think of Twombly as a monochromist, but there you go. Not really my period. Here's a google image search for Twombly. As you'll see, on lots of the paintings a lipstick smudge wouldn't have shown. She must have meant it.
