Martha Teichner, correspondent for CBS News’ “Sunday Morning”
CBS-TV’s Sunday Morning news show this week will feature a report on the National Academy’s and Rose Art Museum’s art-disposal controversies—“The Art of Survival: Deaccessioning Artworks” (Scroll down to the bottom of the list of this Sunday’s stories.)
Here’s the description of the segment:
With arts institutions across the country increasingly feeling
financially squeezed, some are turning to selling their art works to
pay off expenses. Martha Teichner visits the National Academy,
which has been punished by the Association of Art Museum Directors for
its sale of two paintings. We also go to Brandeis University where
their announced plans to close the Rose Art Museum and sell off its
collection set off a firestorm of criticism and protests, forcing the
University to rethink its plans.
You can find the time (way too early) when Sunday Morning airs in your area here. (My Sunday morning doesn’t start till Sunday afternoon.)
Let’s see if they’ve updated this report to include the late-breaking developments in the Academy story.
