Mr. Burlakoff...
Hind sight is 20-20 for me...we are a small history museum in a rural area,
and though is is no excuse, I was frankly unprepared for this possibility.
We don't "contract" for exhibits at this point, although we do have written
agreements, which I will step up in the future. Perhaps that's naive of me,
and as I mentioned, we will not be pulling the artwork (which I would not
have done anyway...I would have discussed it with the artist).  I will,
however, keep the list apprised should something actually occur with the
situation.  I am still nervous about it.  I don't think my director feels
there is even a "mess"...it is the potential for something to occur that
worried me.
Given the mistakes I made in this situation, which you aptly pointed out, I
will certainly take measures in the future to approach such situations in
the future. We're not all the Metropolitan or the Smithsonian; many of us
make our way and do the best we can, and learn from our mistakes.
