Marble shirt

An object of the exhibition "The American Dream" in The Drenthe Museum in Assen I visited last month. It is called HOLOS and made out of marble by Jud Nelson (1943). 
Here the explanation: 
" Everyone is familiar with the impressive marble statues of ancient gods and emperors. Using the same material the artist Jud Nelson here made a deceptively real replica of an ordinary white shirt. In executing such a banal object in costly Carrara marble. Nelson casts a wry wink to antiquity and high art"

  6. Reminds me of a famous piece of Chinese Jade that perfectly resembles a morsel of meat!
