The painting "No. 2" by Mark Rothko was famously attacked in 1956 by a man who disapproved of abstract art. The assailant threw a handful of paint over the canvas during an exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City. This incident highlighted the tensions between traditional and modern art forms during that era. Rothko's work, emblematic of abstract expressionism, often elicited strong reactions, both positive and negative.
