Elevator mechanic mistakenly disposes of artwork at museum

ai generated text

A piece of artwork, titled "All the good times we spent together" by French artist Alexandre Lavet, was mistakenly thrown away by an elevator mechanic. The artwork, created in 2016, appears to be two discarded beer cans in a glass elevator shaft, but upon closer inspection, it is actually a meticulously hand-painted homage to socializing, made with acrylics.
