eMuseum Notes
Betty Hahn’s series “Crime in the Home” includes photographs of household objects destroyed by Trotsky, her Borzoi, when he was a puppy. Arranged in the style of crime scene photographs, the series even includes a “police sketch” of the suspect and one of the suspect’s paws with a ruler.
