i12bent: Constantin Brâncuşi: Bird in Space, 1926 - bronze (MoMA) This piece was the object of a US trial in 1927, because US Customs did not consider the piece to be ‘art’ and slapped it with import duties normally reserved for “Kitchen Utensils and Hospital Supplies” Edward Steichen sued the US Gov’t and won the trial. We now have the Court’s word that Bird in Space is in fact art… “The object now under consideration … is beautiful and symmetrical in outline, and while some difficulty might be encountered in associating it with a bird, it is nevertheless pleasing to look at and highly ornamental, and as we hold under the evidence that it is the original production of a professional sculptor and is in fact a piece of sculpture and a work of art according to the authorities above referred to, we sustain the protest and find that it is entitled to free entry.” — Verdict, Judge Waite
