Kids decorate Aalto's Chair 69 at Cooper-Hewitt  

.
The second cycle thing seems a bit redundant, with the collectors market the way it is that pretty much occurs anyway.
I'm relaxed about it though, paint away kiddies, life is short and they're not high craft or anything grand.
But if there was a destructive child anywhere near a Scimtar chair I'd have to take action though, tazer?

Kid's artistic efforts should be limted to newsprint & chipboard
Second cycle? These chairs are now guaranteed future landfill.
Why are we supposed to get all misty and sentimental at the spectacle of children slobbering paint on things?
The Picasso quip "It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child" continues to wreck havoc fifty years later...

sad.
sad.

Its about displacement, hahahhaa.

Desecration,not decoration
Beyond me why so many people think kids are budding Picassos!

"In Israel, we lift kids in chairs on their birthday. A 6-year-old is lifted seven times, one for next year. I think it's very Jewish. You need hope for next year. In Judaism, it's not obvious that next year is coming."
Oh, the humanity -- original Aalto chairs being desecrated. Call the Anti Furniture-defamation League . . . !
Don't we routinely strip furniture when it needs a new finish ?

A few years ago some friends ...
A few years ago some friends had a 'bad art party', I made some Hitler collage nonsense but the best one was a transcript of a mock interview which was so well worded in post modern meaninglesness that it was only by the last paragraph that you realised the entire thing was about 'ínvisibility'.
