| Summary: | "In the archives of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Pittsburgh-based artist Lenka Clayton (born 1977) came across a letter written in 1978 by a member of the public to the curator of 20th-century art. The writer, a Mr. Brian H. Morgan, describes a white marble egg made by his Romanian great-grandfather Peter Finck. He notes a startling similarity between this egg and Brancusi's 'Sculpture for the Blind,' in the museum's collection. The letter poses this question: What is it about Brancusi that makes his egg a work of art suitable for a museum, and not the egg by Finck? At its heart is a timeless question: how does one object come to be understood as an important work of art, while another, so similar, is entirely forgotten?" |
