Art

[Jeff Grossman]

There's art that hangs in museums and there's art that hangs over the couch. Everybody knows the difference, right?

 

[Oswaldo Costa]

No.

 

[Jonathan Loesberg]

Yes. Different people or institutions bought them. Also, couches in museums tend to be facing the art, not under it, so that you can see it. Also some museums charge admission. There are probably other differences of these sorts.

 

[Cole Kendall]

I had no idea there was a difference. Some of the art I saw in this museum show probably was hanging over a couch at some time: http://www.marmottan.fr/fr/Exposition_en_cours-musee-2576

at the victoria and albert i wouldn't be surprised to find couches that are art.

I have a friend named Art. He some times hangs at museums but never in my experience on walls or over sofas (on them, yes).

Thanks for clearing that up.

Is this a New York thing you wouldn't understand thing?

You talking about those black velvet paintings you're likely to see being sold out of semi-trailers on major highways?

 

[Ian Fitzsimmons]

Whose couch might bear on the question.

So far, so good.
