A climate activist who allegedly smeared paint on a case<\/u><\/a> surrounding 19th century French artist Edgar Degas\u2019 “Little Dancer Aged Fourteen” sculpture at Washington, D.C.\u2019s National Gallery of Art was charged.<\/p>\n

Joanna Smith, 54, of Brooklyn, N.Y., got 60 days of prison time out of a possible maximum sentence of five years for defacing the historic statue, the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office in Washington, D.C., said in a release<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Judge Amy Berman Jackson also ordered Smith to serve 24 months of supervised release and 150 hours of community service, with 10 hours that must involve cleaning graffiti.<\/p>\n

Smith also paid restitution for the damage to the Degas sculpture and was barred from entering the nation’s capitol and all museums and monuments for two years.<\/p>\n

CLIMATE ACTIVISTS INDICTED FOR SMEARING PAINT ON DEGAS SCULPTURE CASE AT NATIONAL GALLERY<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Smith, along with other co-conspirators, traveled to Washington D.C.<\/a> on April 27, 2023, and allegedly targeted the sculpture, the attorney’s office said.<\/p>\n

The two allegedly smuggled the paint in plastic water bottles and had other conspirators film them smearing the paint of the base and the see-through case, while sometimes hitting the roughly 143-year-old priceless artwork with<\/a> force, on their phones, according to the release.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the government\u2019s evidence, Smith, along with other co-conspirators, created video statements explaining their intent.<\/p>\n

They also alerted two reporters from the Washington Post who arrived and took photos of the vandalism<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The April 27 incident caused $4,000 in damage and forced staff to remove “Little Dancer” from the galleries for 10 days for repairs, the release said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
