A Montana woman accused of taking a crowbar to an art museum display that has spurred protests and been denounced as obscene was arrested Wednesday on a charge of criminal mischief.

Kathleen Folden, 56, of Kalispell, Mont., was accused of damaging a print that critics say protrays Jesus Christ engaged in a sex act.

"I critique the institutions and my disagreements with the way the church corrupts the spiritual," he said. "People might disagree with my views, my art, but I'm not trying to offend anybody."

1. He said that as the woman broke the case, she screamed: "How can you desecrate my Lord?"

Hilarious.

3. And now thanks to her, everyone will be curious to see it.

Also, it was a PRINT.

Which means they can make MORE COPIES.

4. Prints have limited editions...

I've done some printmaking back in the day. Some prints (monoprint) do not have copies. These prints aren't run off a printer at Kinkos. Still if someone would have done that to my print I would have said, "now it is complete." The womans reaction lending weight to the power of the piece.

5. Good idea. Display it damaged, along with stills from the security camera. n/t
