It gets even better. There have been a few occasions in which a janitor has mistakenly thrown out modern art because they confused it for actual trash

In the artist's defense that piece was more of a sculpture that was literally made of trash, and was supposed to be a commentary on consumerism. So the janitor throwing it away basically just made it into a performance art piece.

The artist was pissed tho, so yeah, maybe it was just a shit piece, lol
