Putting aside philosophical discussions around what art is, I feel like frames are much like many other things recognized as art in museums, including Smithsonian museums. While four pieces of wood would suffice for security, frame makers delighted in the gilded and polychrome curves of Baroque frames, the asymmetrical Rococo peak and the stepped geometry of Art Deco casing. You can say the same things about furniture or even fashion. Not every frame is art, sure, but you also won't see a Raymour & Flannigan sofa in a museum any time soon either. |
