The Ornament of the Masses: Red, White and Blue
How many people visit the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Tate Modern, Centre Georges Pompidou or Fundació Joan Miró each day? And how many of them leave the museum shops with a souvenir featuring an image of one of the most famous works exhibited or held – works that are part of the established narrative of art history? Often, these items are copies of the very same objects, emblazoned with the museum’s logo or the signature of a renowned artist.
