These people are so extreme that even wokes are dissociating themselves from them. What should be done with them?
- Jail them
- Seize their property to pay for the damage
- Declare their outfits to be terror groups: not unprecedented and has happened before in the US, with the Earth Liberation Front https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_Liberation_Front
These campaigns are probably getting publicity in press coverage and outrage and debate worth the equivalent in billions of dollars of ad-spend and that would be impossible to achieve even when spending billions of dollars on PR.
Also have any of the paintings actually been damaged? Haven't they all been behind glass? From the Linked-to article:

jailing is the worst way of punishing anyone for that matter, people find it easier surviving in jails than in the outside where you gotta work everyday for basic living and taking away those means is better
