Focusing on the controversial phenomenon of museums de-accessioning art works, the videotape follows two art works out of a museum and into private homes—as well as one which remained behind in the museum, de-accessioned but unsold. Edited from interviews with museum staff and the de-accessioned art works’ new owners. (Andrea Fraser)
