From the bottom of that article you linked:

This is not the first time contemporary art has run into trouble. Three years ago a Damien Hirst work was thrown away because a cleaner thought it was rubbish. The work -- bottles, cigarette boxes, full ashtrays and paint tins -- was intended to reflect the chaos of an artist's studio. The work was retrieved from a bin bag and reassembled.

Was that 3 years ago? Damn, time passes quickly. I thought that happened last year.
