Art That Needs No Hook or Pedestal

 MoMa aquires the @ symbol.

"The acquisition, Ms. Antonelli said, “relies on the assumption that physical possession of an object as a requirement for an acquisition is no longer necessary, and therefore it sets curators free to tag the world and acknowledge things that ‘cannot be had’ — because they are too big (buildings, Boeing 747’s, satellites), or because they are in the air and belong to everybody and to no one, like the @.”"
