The Chapman Brothers repaint Brueghel the
Younger
If you want to see your old master work soar in value, get it “reworked” by the Chapman brothers—having defaced works by Goya, Hogarth and Hitler, the plucky Brit siblings have now painted over a 1607 painting by Brueghel the Younger,Calvary, the centrepiece of a new show at Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich (“Die Dada Die”, until 22 August, in collaboration with Moscow's Triumph Gallery and RS&A Ltd of London). “The price on the original painting was £220,000 and the selling price is £750,000,” said a project spokesman.
