"The Deaccession of Art Works from Museum Collections: Raising Funds, Donor Restrictions and the Public Interest" 

A 90-minute Teleconference and Live Audio Webcast

Tuesday, February 12, 2008

Program Description
This program will consider the legal issues raised by the recent moves of museums and other institutions to raise funds through the sale of art works in their collections. Recent controversies have included sales or contemplated sales by the Albright-Knox Museum in Buffalo, New York: Fisk University, Randolph College, and Thomas Jefferson University Medical College.

Each incident raises different legal and ethical issues including: whether the proceeds of sales can be used for endowment or operating funds; whether donor restrictions will be violated; when a court should permit a sale that may violate a donor's restrictions; and what the legal and ethical governing principles are for museums that are embedded within a larger institution, such as a university.
