A museum in the Netherlands said an artwork consisting of two hand-painted empty beer cans was "miraculously" recovered from the trash after an elevator technician accidentally threw them away thinking they were litter.
"All The Good Times We Spent Together," a 1988 work by French artist Alexandre Lavet, appears to be two empty Jupiler brand beer cans, one standing upright and one tipped over, slightly crushed. But a closer look reveals the cans are not found object art, but were "meticulously hand-painted with acrylics," the LAM Museum in Lisse, about 25 miles southwest of Amsterdam, said in a statement.
