Woman damaged 333k artwork at Auckland Art gallery ball

A woman who damaged a piece of artwork worth 335,000 dollars while attending a ball at Auckland Art gallery last month has been granted name suppression. Guests at The Curious Ball last month were served alcohol and given exclusive after-hours access to the exhibition of works by Olafur Eliasson. A guest has been charged with wilful damage after headbutting a hanging sculpture and ordered to pay $3400 to cover its repairs. Reporter Louise Ternouth spoke to Lisa Owen.
