Daniele Accossato's 2015 Work “Stolen Cupid” Shows Packed and Crated Works of Art

The Stolen Cupid, 2015. By the contemporary Italian artist Daniele Accossato.

Accossato reimagines the fate of classical works of art, portraying them stolen, wrapped up, deprived of liberty and ready for dispatch. It is an allegory of the workings of the modern art world, which commercialises works of art and strips them of their soul to satisfy business interests.
