Wow,

    Talk about opening a can of worms! 

    According to most of the posts, we really don't have notable works
    of art.  I say this because Benini and many of the other "great"
    artists in the past have recognized their time limitations and
    produced around it. 

    Here's what they did -- they designed the work and then had others
    create the sculpture. 

    Is it wrong?  I can't say.  We don't call those works non-Beninis. 
    I'm sure Benini made sure that the work that bore his name was up to
    his standards.  We still do this all the time with books. 

    Under the terms of the juried show, if the jury specifically
    requested and knew that there was a designer and "creator" then I
    see no problem.  But, if the work is being passed off as the
    creator's own, then that is at least troublesome. 

Just my thoughts.
Judy
