Forum Topic: The estate of George Grosz has filed a lawsuit against the Museum of Modern Art due to MoMA’s refusal to return three works of art to the Grosz estate.
The estate claims that MoMA acquired two paintings and a watercolor by Grosz which the artist had left behind after having fled from Nazi Germany in 1933. Apparently an art dealer sold the works to MoMA in 1952. However, the Grosz estate claims that they are the rightful owners and that the art dealer had no rights to the work.
The estate feels that the works had been stolen. So far MoMA has not responded. In your opinion, who is in right here? Should the estate have control over the works or should MoMA be considered the rightful owners?

Forum Topic: Cuts to Art Funding
Forum Topic: I've been reading articles about major cuts to art funding throughout the United States. For example, Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm (Democrat) has cut support for the arts from $7.9 million this year to $1 million in 2010. Also, Gov. Jon Corzine (Democrat) chopped $5.2 million from the arts budget in New Jersey-- he suggested that arts funding threatened healthcare funding. My guess is that we will see more of these cuts nationwide until the economy is more stable.
Is it a necessary evil in your opinion? Does it trouble you that funding for the arts has been on the decrease considering that President Obama mentioned the arts as part of his policy during the election? Do you expect that he will defend arts funding? What are your thoughts on public funding of the arts in general?

Forum Topic: How is the internet changing the global art scene?
Forum Topic: Due to the internet artists, curators, and art dealers are connecting in ways that would not have been possible not long ago. An artist can meet another artist from overseas with ease-- both can influence each other.
A curator from Japan can easily discover an artist from Canada. An art dealer in New York City may find out about an artist online that he or she would like to represent-- not knowing that the artist lives just a few miles from the gallery. Connections like this are made everyday online-- connections that would not have otherwise happened had those making the connections not been online.
With this in mind, how is the internet bringing the whole of the ‘art world’ together? Feel free to share your experiences or insight.
