Fair enough, it’s a bit short. Joseph Beuys was an artist that worked with fat & felt a lot. He was famous and esp. after his death his artwork went for insane prices. One of his works was literally a corner of a room filled with fat (butter, apparently, but it’s called Fettecke = fat corner or grease corner). A cleaner accidentally cleaned it up, not knowing what it was. Or so the story goes.
I read the article 3 times now and still don’t understand

Being a cleaner at a modern art museum has to be stressful
