Art piece shows Ivanka vacuuming breadcrumbs

Ivanka Trump has blasted a performance art piece that features a lookalike of her vacuuming up crumbs that spectators toss at her.

“Women can choose to knock each other down or build each other up,” the first daughter tweeted on Tuesday, alongside a link to a story on the exhibit. “I choose the latter.”

The piece by New Yorkbased artist Jennifer Rubell, titled “Ivanka Vacuuming”, invites visitors at the Flashpoint Gallery in Washington to “throw crumbs on the carpet, watching as Ivanka elegantly vacuums up the mess, her smile never wavering.”

A pink-clad model in threeinch heels plays an ersatz Ivanka making the mess disappear over and over again, the New York Post reported. The work, presented by the CulturalDC arts organisation, has been opened to the public since February 1, from 6pm to 8pm.
