Martinifest, Doing Milwaukee Proud

February 28th, 2006 by Hennessy

From The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel :

“People were shoving people over. People were getting sick, screaming, shouting, messing with the artwork.”

A group of four young men climbed onto “Standing Woman,” a tall, bronze sculpture of a goddess-like woman with exaggerated features by early 20th-century American artist Gaston Lachaise.

“They were standing on it, grabbing the boobs, and somebody was just taking pictures with a cell phone,” said Laura Collins, 35.

Thirty dollar unlimited martinis and an art museum. Were they surprised this happened? Wonder if anybody was scrubbing puke off the artwork?
