A new lift technician at the Dutch art museum LAM assumed that a famous artwork that looks like two crushed beer cans was discarded trash so he threw it in the rubbish bin.
All The Good Times We Spent Together is a modern artwork created by French artist Alexandre Lavet, but anyone unfamiliar with it can easily mistake it for trash, especially in the LAM Museum, which prides itself on surprising visitors by installing exhibits in unconventional locations. At first glance, Lavet’s artwork looks like two discarded and dented beer cans, but a closer inspection reveals that they are meticulously hand-painted with acrylic paint. However, the artistic value of All The Good Times We Spent Together was lost on LAM Museum’s new lift technician who, upon seeing the two aluminum cans in the lift, mistook them for trash and treated them as such.
