People who appreciate art don't defface it. All she did was kiss it. She wasn't intentionally trying to Damage the art. The principal behind it was to show that she appreciated it. She wasn't adding to it, correcting it as she saw fit, she was merely showing the emotion that it had evoked in her.

To me, this is an equivilant of placing a bunch of plastic pink flamingos on the Playboy Mansion's lawn..... it's tacky is what it is.... if she wanted to show her expression towards the painting, sure.... kiss the wall beside it, kiss the picture frame.... but don't go and glob all over the viewing/working area.
Regardless of the emotional appeal, or the rights to freedom of expression, etc.... the painting was not her property to make that decision in the first place.
Sure there is some room for freedom of expression and speech/art.... but why should her rights of expression trump the rights of the original artist's freedom of expression/art? This might not have been her intentions to interfeer in the original artist's rights to freedom of expression, but that's what she did..... she interfeered with the medium and the original message/art the artists wished to express to everybody......
..... Now all everyone is gonna see is
"Wow.... look at that picture..... who's lipstick is that on there?"
