A few days ago a woman fell onto Picasso's 6'x4' painting entitled "The Actor" from his rose period. it is 105 years old. The painting was ripped in the right bottom corner. Now the Met is questioning how to fix this old painting. Its value is estimated around $100 million.
I personally feel that the painting should not be fixed. I realize their techniques must be very professional and could potentially fix it without it being noticeable, however, I feel that the canvas is too old to be tampered with. It is better to let it be than to try and fix it and take a risk ruining it.
