The art museums' wager
I'm not a sports fan of any type, and I managed to avoid awareness of the fact that today is Super Bowl Sunday until about a week ago, and it was only with prepping from my sister that I could remember the teams involved
BUT
I loved this story, from yesterday's Only A Game, about how the Seattle Art Museum and the Denver Museum of Art are getting into the spirit of the competition:
"Seattle, Denver Museums Wager Works of Art on Super Bowl"
If Denver wins, then Kako Tsuji's "Sound of Waves"--with a picture of an eagle [very close, imagewise, to a seahawk]--will go to Denver:
If Seattle wins, then Fredrick Remington's "Bronco Buster" will go to Seattle:
The interviewer gave the art directors a chance to trash talk each other at the end of the interview but wow, that's a skill that's not in the art directorial portfolio, clearly.

I love the eagle in the first painting. It must be stunning to see it full size in a museum.
