Walker Stung In Loan Dispute

A piece by Huang Yong Ping was loaned to an exhibition at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis and then abruptly pulled from the show following a dispute over restoration costs. Then it was quickly sold at auction. “We had already promised the piece to other museums on the exhibition tour so we had to find a work to substitute it. People who behave like this are not interested in art or artists. They are only interested in making money. Museums are powerless to prevent these abuses,”
