David Hensel sent a sculpture in to a jury show at London's Royal Academy of Arts.
The slate base (with a small boxwood support) was separated from the sculpture in shipping.
Both were thus considered as individual submissions based on their merits. There were 9,000 submissions.
The base and support pairing got in. The sculpture did not.
They Royal Academy denies making a mistake, and asserts that the the base and support - which took 5 hours to make - was "thought to have merit". The sculpture (of a realistic human head laughing) took 2 months to make.
Read the whole thing on the op-ed page of the June 20 issue of The Wall Street Journal.
BTW: the piece by Lionel Shriver uses one of those English-English words that us American-English speakers don't see much: plinth. I'm not sure I've ever even seen it used anywhere outside of that old Faces tune.
