Sleeping Beauties
David Byrne
October 6, 2026
David Byrne follows artworks, scientific discoveries and inventions that were overlooked before returning to prominence. Examples range from continental drift and solar panels to Bach and Melville, examining why ideas go dormant and how outsiders or changing circumstances revive them.
