But...IS IT unpompous all-american ART?


Brooklyn-based artist Cosimo Cavallaro regards his finished work of art, a bed with more than 300 pounds of sliced ham, at a gallery in New York Thursday, June 3, 2004. Cavallaro, 41, the son of immigrants from southern Italy, said the ham is 'a pure form of America: all kinds of parts, boiled and pressed together.' Despite his Italian heritage and training in an Italian art school, Cavallaro said he had rejected Prosciutto because 'It would have been pompous.' (AP Photo/Tina Fineberg)
