What does an art museum's art receipt 'termination clause' look like?
When one lodges their collection with a museum "in perpetuity" I'd expect the museum to have a disposal clause that lets them dump non-profitable works?
Works gifted to nations seem to get sold off occasionally, I'd guess that's by virtue of renovation clauses that allow the receiver a veritable carte blanch?
- OrangeMango 7y agoThe term that I think you are looking for is called "deaccessioning" and Wikipedia has what I believe is a good page about it. Sometimes there are conditions, and the museum may have to go to court to be allowed to move forward (and a judge may not allow it). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaccessioning_(museum) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deaccessioning_(museum)
