The Art of Destruction

One of the hot pieces of Art Dubai this year was a pink confetti cube by Lara Favaretto (sold on day for around 50,000EUR), from Galleria Franco Noero (Torino). Perilously held together by nothing but the sheer weight of itself, the ephemeral artwork begged visitors to touch it while the gallerists remained on high alert to tell visitors, "DO NOT!!"

Alas, the invitation to do the forbidden was too much for many, and here are the witnessed:

Ten Ways To Destroy A Lara Favaretto

1. Run your fingers across it
2. Flick it
3. Plunge your hand into the center of a side and pull out a handful (as one small child did)
4. Blow on it 
5. Wave a fan at it (confetti storm)
6. Plunge your hands into it, sandbox style
7. Walk too quickly too near it
8. Shake it 
9. Smack it (gently)
10. Grab a corner of it and walk away with a handful of confetti
