Joe Queenan's Unconventional Ideas for How New York Should Handle Deaccessioning

With the heat still on New York’s Board of Regents and the newly-created 16 member committee brought in to investigate how they should/shouldn’t oversee the state’s museums’ deaccessioning of art, humorist and critic Joe Queenan has laid down some of his thoughts on the matter for the Wall Street Journal. While his plans to not only throw out the rules regarding art sales by museums, but to actually encourage it in order to have all those millions go to New York’s beleaguered sports teams probably won’t get very far within the commission currently studying it, we appreciate his thoughts.
