We all know about the chaos that The Spear created in SA and the chaos related to the vandalism that it suffered. There is another painting, Rothko's Black on Maroon, that was recently vandalised.
You can read about the whole situation here.
I found this very interesting article about a few other works of art that have been vandalised or damaged over the years: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/art/art-features/9593748/When-art-gets-vandalised.html
It makes for very interesting reading. You can then go and look at complete and intact works of art in the National Gallery in London. You can take a virtual tour of some of the rooms in the Gallery!
