BBC News - Mark Rothko painting defacement: Man charged

A man has been charged with defacing a Mark Rothko painting at London's Tate Modern gallery on Sunday, Scotland Yard has said.

Wlodzimierz Umaniec, 26, a Polish national of no fixed abode, will appear at Camberwell Green Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.

Mr Umaniec, also known as Vladimir Umanets, is charged with one count of causing criminal damage in excess of £5,000.

The artwork is a 1958 Seagram mural.



Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
