The Fine Art of Customs Law

The GranneBlog has a fascinating post on a piece of customs law history relating to the tariff classification of abstract art. So, consider this an annotation to that otherwise fine post.

Given the excellent library of honest-to-goodness paper and leather books in my office, I was able to find the relevant decision, which is Brancusi v. United States, T.D. 43063 (1928). It includes a picture of the sculpture as well. Sorry for the poor scan. Keep in mind that it is a black and white photo from 1928.
