Climate activists target Andy Warhol's soup cans at Canberra art gallery – video

Two climate protesters have scrawled over one of the National Gallery of Australia’s prized modern art pieces, Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s soup cans. 

The activists are part of the Stop Fossil Fuel Subsidies group, which in a statement called for the Australian government to end support for the oil, gas and coal industries.

One of the activists attempted to glue themselves to the artwork but was removed before the glue set. The prints are understood to be under glass and not damaged.
