Museum director: To be classified as a masterwork, a painting must have been both praised by contemporary critics and later included in at least one major retrospective. "The Amber Hour" was included in three major retrospectives over the past decade. So "The Amber Hour" must be classified as a masterwork.
The museum director's conclusion depends on which one of the following assumptions?
- Being included in three retrospectives is a stronger credential than being included in just one.
- The critics who praised "The Amber Hour" were writing for the most prestigious publications available.
- "The Amber Hour" was in fact praised by contemporary critics around the time it was first created.
- Every painting included in three or more major retrospectives has eventually been called a masterwork.
- No painting has ever been classified as a masterwork without appearing in at least three retrospectives.
