Thursday 3rd March.

An abstract painting worth an estimated $1.5m (£850,000) is in need of repair after a 12-year-old boy stuck a piece of chewing gum on the canvas.

The gum left a small stain in a corner of The Bay, a 1963 painting by American artist Helen Frankenthaler.

.................... i'm sorry, who the hell is Helen Frankenthaler, we don't sort out playground squabbles.
