DRUDGE REPORT @DRUDGE_REPORT 6m Detroit Hires Christie's To Appraise World Class Art Museum... http://drudge.tw/16YDwB0 http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2013/08/05/ ... raise-dia/ Emergency manager Kevyn Orr has been largely mum on the subject of whether the city could sell art to repay creditors, except to say when he announced that Detroit was filing for bankruptcy that Howdy Doody, the DIA-owned marionette from the original TV show, was not for sale. God Forbid!

I imagine someone like George Clooney sticking a Van Gogh in his Italian retreats basement to be appreciated by Oprah,Alec Baldwin,Robin Williams and the rest of his liberal,smarmy bretheren. |

I wonder how Detroit's creditors feel about that?? |

The slyly subversive Diego Rivera mural itself is worth visiting that museum to see. Quote: Eighty years ago this week, the Detroit Institute of Arts debuted "Detroit Industry," the monumental murals by Diego Rivera that he intended to be a tribute to Michigan's innovative technology. Many initially despised it. Politicians such as Detroit City Councilmember William Bradley, academicians including Marygrove College President George Derry, and scores of religious and social organizations representing tens of thousands demanded the art be destroyed. Their complaints: It promoted class warfare. It mocked baby Jesus. It embraced racial equality. The Detroit News ran a scorching front-page editorial that concluded "the best thing to do would be to whitewash the entire work completely." http://www.detroitnews.com/article/2013 ... /303230310 |
