MOCA said to be courting LACMA for bailout @LATimes
The MOCA in Los Angeles is apparently nearly insolvent; bummer – it’s always been one of my favorites. Proposed solutions include merging w/ LACMA.
“In the wake of Wednesday’s board meeting to discuss options for the fiscal crisis at the Museum of Contemporary Art, here is what I’m told the board is now prepared to do: formally approach the Los Angeles County Museum of Art about a merger, which will effectively mean a transfer of MOCA’s extraordinary collection to the Mid-Wilshire complex.”
LATimes art critic, Christopher Knight writes about why he reckons this is the wrong move.
