The art museums' wager

[asakiyume]

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 thought so too. The art choices are perfect.
