Majestic Splendor: Rotting Fish Artwork Bursts into Flames

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


We have explosive art news from the Hayward Gallery in London. “Majestic Splendor” (1991–2018), a famous artwork by South Korean artist Lee Bul, delayed the opening of an exhibit when it burst into flames:

Majestic Splendor is composed of sequin-covered rotting fish. When it was shown in 1997 at New York’s MoMA, it had to be removed as the smell made visitors feel sick. For the Hayward show, the fish were placed in potassium permanganate. Although it is not flammable, the chemical does increase the flammability of other combustible materials. On receiving advice, the gallery decided to withdraw the artwork, but it spontaneously combusted mid-removal. …

Only minimal damage has been caused to the gallery by the exploding fish.

What a relief. Who knows what priceless, irreplaceable products of posturing postmodern moonbattery might have been lost.

On a tip from Steve T.
