The Week contest: Unseen art
This week's question: An unknown buyer has paid $18,350 for "Io Sono [I Am]," an invisible sculpture by Salvatore Garau. The Italian artist, 67, describes the work as a "density of thoughts." In seven words or fewer, please come up with the name of a permanent exhibit where art lovers could admire high-concept sculptures or paintings that can't be seen.
