Snapchat has mistakenly revealed a partnership with the legendary artist Jeff Koons that it intended to build up anticipation for through a countdown timer on its website.

People started noticing the webpage art.snapchat.com on Monday with a countdown timer that's scheduled to end around the time Snap CEO Evan Spiegel steps onstage for a rare interview at Vanity Fair's New Establishment conference in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
