Nov. 12, 1939: This photo, published shortly after the start of the Second World War, ran with this caption: “The Winged Victory of Samothrace, another great achievement of the ancient Greek sculptors, packed for removal in accordance with plans for its protection formulated far in advance of the war.” A 2009 exhibition at the Louvre showed photos documenting how art was relocated for safety during wartime.

MYSHELL256 BY SHARON GOLAN
16 modular components combine to make 256 different pairs of shoes.
Quality in art can neither be ascertained nor proved by logic or discourse. Experience alone rules in this area…Yet, Quality in art is not just a matter of private experience. There is a consensus of taste. The best taste is that of the people who, in each generation, spend the most time and trouble on art, and this best taste has always turned out to be unanimous, within certain limits.
Clement Greenberg, 1961
