<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kyratango, post: 485664, member: 5006&quot;]I read the article in your link about </p><p><font size="6"><b>What I’ve learned: Sara Friedlander, Head of Post-War and Contemporary Art</b></font></p><p><b>One of my biggest challenges — logistically, commercially, curatorially</b> — was the sale of <i><a href="https://www.christies.com/lotfinder/Lot/kader-attia-b-1970-flying-rats-4871351-details.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.christies.com/lotfinder/Lot/kader-attia-b-1970-flying-rats-4871351-details.aspx" rel="nofollow">Flying Rats</a></i>, by the French-Algerian artist <a href="http://artist.christies.com/Kader-Attia-10241.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://artist.christies.com/Kader-Attia-10241.aspx" rel="nofollow">Kader Attia</a>. It was the first big project that I worked on. The installation consists of a cage full of pigeons along with figures of children made out of birdseed. Over the course of a week the pigeons ate the children. It was wild, and a fascinating exercise in what art can do. Ultimately we were selling a concept, because the purchaser didn’t receive the pigeons or the cage, just a certificate.</p><p><a href="https://www.christies.com/lotfinder/Lot/kader-attia-b-1970-flying-rats-4871351-details.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.christies.com/lotfinder/Lot/kader-attia-b-1970-flying-rats-4871351-details.aspx" rel="nofollow">https://www.christies.com/lotfinder/Lot/kader-attia-b-1970-flying-rats-4871351-details.aspx</a></p><p><img src="https://cdn.radiofrance.fr/s3/cruiser-production/2016/11/3808a8bf-0e1c-4f2c-8639-c7f6d4edf993/838_000_was767703.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>The concept was interesting...
