The pain in Spain


You knew this story wasn’t going to end with the last chapter, in which Cecilia Giménez butchered the voluntary “restoration” of a fresco at the Sanctuary of Mercy Church in Borja, Spain.

No—in addition to demanding a cut of the gate at the church, for which her work admittedly sparked a demand, Giménez is now hawking her original work on eBay. It’s listed as “Picture by Cecilia Giménez, Restorer of the ‘Ecce Homo’.”

The auction was up to €630 as of yesterday afternoon, up from a starting bid of €300.

Really—everything’s up-to-date in Borja.
