Morgan." --Colophon. 520 $a "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?" $c --Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Brancusi, Constantin, $d 1876-1957. $t Sculpture for the blind. 600 10 $a Finck, Peter, $d 1873-1941. 650 0 $a Art $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Art criticism $z United States. 650 0 $a Art museum curators $z United States $x Attitudes. 650 0 $a Art museum directors $z United States $x Attitudes. 650 0 $a Art museum curators $z United States $v Correspondence. 650 0 $a Art museum directors $z United States $v Correspondence. 650 0 $a Letters. 650 7 $a Art criticism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815492 650 7 $a Art museum curators. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815624 650 7 $a Art museum directors. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815625 650 7 $a Art museum directors $x Attitudes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815626 650 7 $a Art $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815307 650 7 $a Letters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00996779 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Personal correspondence. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Personal correspondence. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919948 655 7 $a Records and correspondence. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423917 700 1 $a Morgan, Brian H., $e writer of supplementary textual content. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240403014259.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217025342.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=BE4D17E8840811E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
