What happened when Steichen tried to return to the United States with the sculpture 'Bird in Space'?
American photographer Edward Steichen purchased the sculpture Bird in Space while in Paris, France. When he tried to return to the United States with it, the United States custom claimed that it was not an art, though he was asked about it. The customs considered it as "kitchen utensils and supplies", slapped an import duty charge.
However, as the art pieces shouldn't be taxed, Steichen refused to pay so. This fiasco was finally led to the Supreme Court, where the final judgment concluded that indeed the sculpture 'Bird in Space' is an art. Following the victory, Steichen didn't have to pay the import tax.
