"All the good times we spent together" by the French artist Alexandre Lavet, exhibited in the Dutch museum in Lisse, was accidentally thrown into the trash. Beer cans near the elevator were later found and placed on a pedestal.
A museum employee took the work of art — two empty beer cans — as trash. And hastened to throw them away so as not to be reprimanded for the dirt in the room. However, he later realized that he was wrong.
It turned out that two beer cans, painted with acrylic paints, are the work "All the good times we spent together." It was created in 2016 by the French artist Alexandre Lave. It is a kind of tribute to the streets of Brussels and in particular to art studios, friends' apartments, parties, exhibition openings in galleries and spaces, etc.
According to the statement of Fruquier Budding, a representative of the museum, the museum staff constantly try to surprise visitors, so they chose such a "non-standard" place for the work of art.
The disappearance of Lave's work was noticed by the curator of the exhibition, Elise van den Berg, who returned after a short break and noticed the absence of beer cans. Later, she was the one who found them in a garbage bag before it was supposed to be thrown away.
This misunderstanding contributed to changing the place of exposition of Lave's work: choosing a more traditional space.
