Don't deaccession, Coaccession(tm)!

Northwestern Art Review publisher Cam Henderson shows through his writings his interest in, among other things, art markets and artists rights, so I reached out to him about Coaccession's role in those areas. That led to an interview over coffee, which led to his NAR post:

Don’t Deaccession, Coaccession™: The Need for a Radical Transformation of the Economic Management of America’s Fine Arts Institutions

Cam's youthful enthusiasm shows through quite clearly. I hope it will prove infectious so that artworks can finally start supporting the arts with all the munificence that their vast financial value can provide. Cam certainly seems committed to spreading the meme, and his efforts could be key to converting the views of some powers that be.
