Shipping destroys $350,000 'Survivor' sculpture en route to Miami art show

The folks from David Jones Fine Arts services arrived at Miami International Airport to pick up a prized life-like sculpture by a renown artist. What they found when they got there was a resin carnage in a crate.

"It looked like something horrible happened. It looked like somebody died inside... all limbs and stuff," says Cristina Sierra, the office manager for the Boca Raton-based service.

Didn't know that the people at the Pompidou Center in Paris were now moving artwork as well.

You're suggesting the sculpture will be worth more in its newly increased abstract state?
