The NGV National Museum officials claimed in a statement obtained by the British Guardian that the artwork, which was protected by Bisciple glass, was unharmed.
The group of climate activists claimed that they chose the 1951 expressive plate as their target in order to pressure all governments, businesses, and institutions to act to address the growing environmental issue.

The two organizations also indicated in a report that the heat waves may reach or even overcome the “physiological and social boundaries” of the human being in the coming years due to the current development of the climate, and it may “cause wide suffering and the loss of lives”, especially in the Sahel and the Horn of Africa, South Asia and Southwest Asia .
The disasters of the heat waves this year in countries such as Somalia and Pakistan warn of a future that witnesses more deadly and frequent humanitarian emergencies, according to the report.
The report said that there are clear limits, after which people who are exposed to extreme heat and moisture cannot “survive”, adding that there are levels of extreme heat that are practically impossible for societies to adapt to them.
He warned that the combined effects of aging, climate warming and urban expansion may lead to a significant increase in the number of people at risk in developing countries during the coming decades.
The report pointed out that the rates of future deaths expected from extreme heat are shockingly high, compared to the size of deaths from all types of cancer and all infectious diseases by the end of the century.
