They could always get some Occupiers to stop by and take a dump in the bucket.

The work is interacting with its environment and has a new, updated patina.

The Cleaning Lady’s Critique

Martin Kippenberger's "When it Starts Dripping from the Ceiling" remains in place at the city's Ostwall museum...

Now it's called "When it Stopped Dripping from the Ceiling".

No loss.
It only had value in the mind of the “artist” and morons in in the gallery that purchased it.

Walt, the janitor said he was aware that the ceiling leaked and he used the pan for a bucket. He was sorry about the mess and asked the cleaning lady to take care of it. The staff was shocked to learn the bucket WASN’T part of the original work.

"Martin Kippenberger's 'When it Starts Dripping from the Ceiling' remains in place at the city's Ostwall museum"..."It has not yet been decided whether the patina would be restored, or if the artwork would be left in its newly "cleaned" condition."

Leave it as it is and rename it "Ceiling Don't Leak No More."

It looks like a piece from “The Woodstove Collection”

A pile of kindling and rather nice ash pan.

And the best part is that neither the critics nor ordinary viewers will be able to tell the difference!

My rule of thumb has always been; If I can make it, then it isn’t art.
