BBC News - Picasso painting ripped by New York woman's fall

BBC News - Picasso painting ripped by New York woman's fall: "A woman who was taking an art class at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art has accidentally fallen into a Picasso painting and damaged it.

The painting called The Actor sustained a vertical tear of about six inches (15cm) in the lower right-hand corner.

But the damage did not affect the 'focal point of the composition' and should be repaired for an exhibition later this year, the museum said."
