>The recent Bruce Nauman exhibit at MoMA included numerous "exhibition >versions" of his work, particularly the neon pieces. Other artists (Sol Lewitt and Lawrence Weiner come to mind) always have work recreated >for exhibition. The art is not always tied to the artifact (or the signified to the signifier...yikes!). >_________________________________________ >ROBBIN MURPHY, ArtNetBBS/ArtNetWEB Yes, but they supervise and plan the work in some manner... Do you think they would want others creating "versions" of their work twenty years after their death and calling it an original "X"? Kevin W.
