Then a few days later, the family received a $132,000 claim from the city of Overland Park’s insurance company, saying that the piece had been damaged beyond repair.
“No one would ever to expect that to come into a place that kids are invited and have to worry about a $132,000 dollar piece of art falling on their child,” Goodman said. “Because he didn’t maliciously break that. It fell on him. It was not secure, it was not safe -- at all.

With Bondo Stone Filler, you can complete professional looking repairs in less than 30 minutes. The secret to a fast, permanent repair is in the 2-part technology. By mixing the filler with the cream hardener, provided with the filler, you can sand the stone filler in 15 minutes and stain or paint it in 25 minutes.
So they had a $132,000 sculture sitting where a child could come into contact with it and they are surprised one did. I think the family has a better claim against them!!!!
Sounds like the city was bilked out of $132,000.
I've seen a lot of art that looks like the kind of work a bunch of 3rd graders could have drawn.
The mother should just tell them, “It’s beyond my capabilities and desires to pay for it.”
Its art. Its only worth what someone wants to pay for it.
Time to call Brad Pistotnik!
This is simple. She was not watching her child and her child went behind a roped area and pulled on an expensive piece of art.
The damages should be paid by the parents, though I personally don’t understand how that particular piece of “art” is worth more than 10 cents.
your kid knocked it over and broke it. You’re responsible.
Watch the video, they were doing the standard “let the rug rats run wild while we ignore them” thing. Pay up, then teach your kids how to behave or put them on a leash.
Time to call Brad Pistotnik!
“Don’t get bucked by the insurance company!”

I prefer JB Weld.
The fact that every “community center” needs a $132K art piece in the lobby is why leftists shouldn’t be in charge of anything. I guess they picked something so ugly so no one would want to steal it.
The “sculpture” unsecured and left in a public place was an attractive nuisance. Fortunately the child was not injured. Verdict Zero Dollars from the parents.
All too many cities are forced by the NPR crowd to buy this sort of “art”, paid for - of course - by your tax dollars.
Sorry, Mr. Overly Sensitive Arteest, get out the Bondo and fix it. Fer gosh sakes, it’s Kansas, not the Louvre.
seems like something the city should have had insured
The old adage: “you broke it, you buy it”. A part of our history which has been erased as well?
“No shirt,
No shoes,
No service”
Parents with rambunctious children, learn how to control them. Untamed children require great discipline, be it in a restaurant or a museum.
“let the rug rats run wild while we ignore them”
And just a day ago some women was excoriated for putting the critters in dog crates in the car???
I personally prefer duct tape, but my wife did not.
Therefore I used other methods.
Many ancient statues have visible cracks.
Looks like the city had insurance or this a clever phishing stunt by Russian trolls?.
You’re right!
