Will the painting be restored?
After looking at the damage caused to the painting, they were able to conclude that it would be fixable. It would just take a lot of time to do because it was, after all, a giant hole in the middle of the painting. They were really going to have to work carefully.
Chen and his family were contacted by the gallery people who told them the good news. They didn’t want Chen to feel so bad about tripping over the rope and let him know that it wasn’t his fault. This really made him feel better about the entire situation. He didn’t want to be known as a clutz.
