Caillebotte and the Super Bowl

I never thought I would read the words “Gustave Caillebotte” and “Super Bowl” in the same article, but so it goes.

There’s apparently a newly created tradition of museums swapping works of art (temporarily) based on the outcome of the big game. “Boating on the Yerres” isn’t one of my favorite Caillebottes (and I was a bit disappointed by the Brooklyn Museum’s most recent exhibition), but he is one of my favorite painters, so I’m pleased to see his work singled out for this, uh, honor.
