STERLING MUNDANE TROPHY
If you are unfamiliar with the Sterling Mundane Trophy here is a little history. Sterling Mundane (1903 - 2002) was an artist and art collector who had a great impact on the art world. He was the person who coined the phrase "Moving Art" in 1937. " I feel that art is not only life, but movement". * New York Times February 18, 1937
He was adamant that art was not only to be found "on a wall or in a gallery" but also where "we work, walk and malinger". He believed "great art has to be chased" and felt that some times one can only get a "fleeting glimpse as it passes by".
The Mundane Trophy was first awarded in 1953 by Sterling. After his death, the Sterling Mundane Trophy Committee has been awarding the trophy.
"When I received the news this past Thursday I was both surprised and humbled", explained Kickstand. " I had been notified we were in the running several months ago, but I never expected we would win". We were seen by the Sterling Mundane Trophy Committee last September as we were riding on Scenic Highway 61 on our Muffin Ride. " We saw this group of motorcyclist parade by us with Lake Superior as their backdrop", explained one of the committee members. "The movement, colors and chrome mixed with the water, waves and rocks.......it was a magnificent piece of art!"
There will be a brief ceremony at the Nobody Club House next Saturday May 1 at 9 am prior to our Potato Ride. Please come and celebrate this historic moment with us as we receive the trophy.
