Art has never belonged to the people.
And never will belong
I remember how in those early 60's, employees of the Historical Museum treated the widow of the architect Krasnopolye. Deceased has collected a large collection of Russian porcelain. So, to her every month to house a museum employee, allegedly for provedyvaya and anxiety about her health. In fact, everything looked different. We went and looked, not a widow then sold from the collection, which museum workers have already been rewritten. And waiting when a poor widow closes her eyes!
A wonderful country!
Art belongs to people?
Which?
Party bosses of the time!
And after all the horrible death in a museum.
And the chief curator of the funds for me personally told me that when I had partiyschikam a gift from the museum to get, so she (God rest her soul!) Went home, collected the keys to the storage facilities, call the doctor and took sick leave.
And calls the museum director replied that she was ill and would not give keys to anyone, because all the wealth in it. And it is responsible for them!
That's museum collections were saved from looting "servants of the people"!
