At best, theargument that this show "surveys various ways museums inspire the making of works of art" is evident in a few of the photographs on view most notably the large Cindy Sherman portrait that conjures up an Old Master painting (and wonderfully confuses you as to precisely which one it might be).
The prime mover of the Arte Povera movement was an Italian art historian named Germano Celant, who conceived Arte Povera in the service of an argument.
What I wonder, however, is if the same argument applies equally to all forms of media, or if perhaps books, music, art and movies are effected in different ways by piracy.
