Cleaner throws out ‘rubbish’ artwork

A cleaner has mistakenly thrown away contemporary artworks meant to be part of an exhibition in southern Italy.

Works made out of newspaper and cardboard, and cookie pieces scattered across the floor as part of Sala Murat's display were thrown out.

Lorenzo Roca, from cleaning firm Chiarissima, said the unnamed cleaner was "just doing her job".

I like to start off by saying that I think all modern art is rubbish and while I’m not a cleaner if I saw newspaper, cardboard and bits of cookie just lying around on the floor what are you supposed to think it is.

Apparently you’re supposed to assume that it’s all part of a great art exhibition and it should be left well alone because it was made by an 'artist' and therefore must be a work of genius. 

If you make ‘artwork’ very loose use of the term there, out of rubbish then you can’t complain if someone throws it away.
