A Deaccession Reader by Stephen E Weil

A Deaccession Reader by Stephen E Weil

Few issues that museums face are as complex as deaccessioning - the permanent removal of an accessioned object from a museum's collection. One must simultaneously consider such factors as mission and collections policy, legal and ethical restrictions, donors' wishes, and the public interest. This book is intended to assist those who are responsible for developing a deaccession program. Includes collections disposal policies from several museums, as well as statements from professional organizations, including AAM, AAMD, and AASLH.

Stephen Weil was the Deputy Director of the Smithsonian Institution's Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden. He is a member of the New York bar and served as administrator of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City from 1967 to 1974. He wrote the critically regarded Beauty and the Beasts (Smithsonian Institution Press, 1983) and coauthored the award-winning treatise Art Law.
