A utility box was painted to resemble an art shipping box. The near end was labeled, "Handle With Care." A break in the face of the crate on this near side revealed the Mona Lisa inside.

The other end of the art also read, "Handle With Care." The side of the box facing the street read, "Do Not Drop." A busted hole in that street facing side revealed Andy Warhol's "Marilyn Monroe."

A shipping label was painted on the side of the crate. It read:

SmithOs Art Logistics

  The John Natsoulas Gallery
  521 First Street
  Davis, California
From:
  Musée du Louvre
  75058 Paris - France
  Métro Palais-Royal

Andy Warhol's "Marilyn Monroe" peeked out from a break in the street facing side of the crate. Underneath were two up-pointing arrows and the word, "Fragile."

The side of the crate had a hole busted in it. That hole revealed the Mona Lisa inside the box.

The back of the shipping crate had two up arrows and a white circle with the expression "A8" inside.

The back of the shipping box had two stencils applied to it. A broken wine glass indicated that the contents were fragile. An open umbrella indicated that the contents should not be allowed to become wet.

A sign identifying the art was adhered to the concrete base. It had become so dirty that its text was nearly obliterated.
