OT:"Garbage" turns out to be modern art

[DustBunny]

A cleaner at the Tate gallery threw out a modern art exhibit because she
thought it was rubbish.
She thought the piece, cardboard and paper and wrapped in a see-through
binliner, was a sack of litter, reports The Sun.
She had no idea it was all part of an installation by German artist Gustav
Metzgerand displayed on the floor at London's Tate Britain.
Metzger's work, First Public Demonstration Of Autodestructive Art, stood
proudly in the gallery's Art And The Sixties display.
He has been offered compensation by gallery bosses, who refused to say what
the exhibit was worth.
A Tate spokesman said: "The bag was accidentally removed and damaged but was
subsequently replaced."
