How do we value objects? Why is some furniture relegated to the attic, while other furniture sells for hundreds of thousands of dollars? If a chair is deemed by art historians as having little monetary value, does that mean that the chair has no historic value? Professor Ned Cooke gives a short historiography seminar analyzing the values of both a chair and a stool.
Great video!
Wonderful to see Ned in action. He certainly has a knack for making things meaningful and opening our eyes to new ways of seeing.
