This past Sunday, William U. Eiland, director of the Georgia Museum of Art, appeared in an interview on CBS Sunday Morning in a segment titled "The Art of Survival" that addressed the current trend of museums deaccessioning works to pay operating expenses. The video, unfortunately, has not been posted, but an article that summarizes the piece is online here. Bill was interviewed not only because of his ability to speak extemporaneously and passionately on the subject (which we're sure many of you have experienced personally), but also because of his extensive professional involvement with the Association of Art Museum Directors (AAMD) and its committee on the matter. If anyone happens to have a digital version of the video, please let us know. We'd love to post it for all to see.
