Acid to destroy Picasso masterpieces if Julian Assange dies in prison

Artist Andrei Molodkin plans to destroy $45M worth of art, including works by Picasso, Rembrandt, and Warhol, if Julian Assange dies in prison. He's put 16 artworks in a safe designed to release corrosive substance, highlighting the clash between freedom and the value of art. The project, backed by Assange's wife, aims to provoke discussion on freedom of expression and the consequences of Assange's potential death.
