Hailed by Google and others as the “copyright case of the decade,” the U.S. Supreme Court issued its long awaited decision in
Google LLC.v Oracle America, Inc
. The Court sided with Google in deciding that it is “fair use” for Google to

The curators state that the exhibition was put together without an attempt to define chronology or any specific progression in Caldiero s career, using custom-made shelves and pedestals similar to those from Caldiero s own studio as a way to convey the range and scope of his work. In an opening event with the curators, Caldiero described the rush he felt from looking at items as they were unpacked:
