Huge ‘Butchered’ artwork installed on North Sea gas rig by Greenpeace activists

Anish Kapoor work referring to ‘butchering of our environment’ believed to be first fine artwork exhibited from a working gas extraction platform

Greenpeace activists have scaled a gas rig, stretched a 96 sq metre canvas across its side and stained it crimson, in a protest designed with Anish Kapoor.

The work, in the North Sea, is believed to be the first piece of fine art exhibited from a working gas extraction platform.
