The link [discusses a promotional stunt](http://m.mentalfloss.com/article/73054/preserve-or-destroy-picasso-cards-against-humanity-lets-you-decide) in which participants can vote on the fate of Tête de Faune, a 1962 Picasso linocut. It will either be donated to the Art Institute of Chicago, or cut into hundreds of pieces and mailed to each participant.

Note that the prospective destroyers bought the Picasso. They own it.
