MFA sale of art by African-Americans grosses $1.5 million

John Carroll runs the numbers on an auction of art the MFA no longer wanted.

Sounds like a win-win

De-accessioning art must happen dozens of times each year at large museums such as the MFA, the Metropolitan, etc.

If you visit the MFA, make sure you don't miss the exhibit by (Boston's own) Loïs Mailou Jones!
