First broadcast January 29, 2010 Michael Rush inaugurates his occasional series on issues facing museums in these first years of the twenty-first century. Part 1 grapples with the complex subject of deaccessioning, or selling art from a collection for purposes other than buying more art. Guests Judith H. Dobrzynski, former business and culture writer for The New York Times, for which she contributed this op-ed piece on deaccessioning, and the mind behind Real Clear Arts; Charles Desmarais, Deputy Director for Art at the Brooklyn Museum; and Eleanor Heartney, author and critic, debate key issues on the slippery slope of selling art for profit (35 minutes). |
