When Edward Steichen tried to bring the sculpture "Bird in Space" to the United States in 1927, it was classified as a piece of industrial metal by customs officials who imposed a duty fee on it. Steichen argued that it was a work of art, leading to a legal battle over its classification. The case was eventually settled in Steichen's favor, establishing an important precedent for the definition of art in the eyes of the law.
