    [synopsis] => There are many reasons why works of art become famous, few have anything to do with quality. Art museums are filled with masterworks that are unknown to the general public. This book raises questions about how fame is achieved, and ultimately how a work either retains that fame, or passes from the public consciousness. The works of art, which include sculptures, paintings, a photograph, and architecture, examined in individual chapters are:

“The Great Sphinx”
“Tomb of Tutankhamen”
“The Parthenon Sculptures”
“The Apollo Belvedere”
“Nike of Samothrace”
“Birth of Venus by Botticelli”
“Mona Lisa” by Leonardo da Vinci
“Sistine Madonna” by Raphael
“The Burial of Count Orgaz” by El Greco
“Aristotle Contemplating a Bust of Homer” by Rembrandt
“Washington Crossing the Delaware” by Emanuel Leutze
“Luncheon on the Grass” by Edouard Manet
“The Thinker” by Auguste Rodin
“Starry Night” by Vincent Van Gogh
“The Scream” by Edvard Munch
“American Gothic” by Grant Wood
“Migrant Mother” by Dorothea Lange
“Guernica” by Pablo Picasso
“Campbell's Soup” by Andy Warhol
“The Vietnam Veterans Memorial” by Maya Lin
