Our art museum took into its collection in the fifties and sixties several plasters from a sculptor who never had these cast presumably for lack of funds. They are figurative images and very well done but the plasters are not attractive as they are extremely soiled and not showable. These plasters are rather large and taking up a lot of the valuable space in our art vault. Have any art museums that you know of taken this sort of thing into thier collections as anything other than interesting material to tell the story of how the finished work was done? Any recommendations from curators or collection managers particulary would be so helpful.
