Art work damaged at Auckland Art Gallery, criminal charge made

An art work has been damaged at a glitzy event held at the Auckland Art Gallery, leading to a criminal charge. Guests at The Curious Ball last month were served alcohol and given exclusive after-hours access to the exhibition of work by Olafur Eliasson. His art sells for hundreds of thousands of dollars and the damaged piece is a hanging sculpture. Reporter Louise Ternouth spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.
