Read our privacy policy Climate activists may have “increased” the value of a Vincent Van Gogh painting after gluing themselves to its frame at a London art gallery, their lawyer has suggested. She said: “There were concerns over how much of the glue had seeped into the frame and the painting itself.” When it comes to protesting, just speaking does not get a platform. “Parts of the frame had fallen off.” Ms Serres said it took six hours for the painting to be removed from the frame and put back again. Glue comes off.” The defendant said the painting’s owner would have “consented” to the protest.
