Description
Discusses how decreased funding for museums and art galleries has lead to an increased effort to secure Indigenous art in order to acquire grants. Uses Jimmie Durham as a case study and an examination of the Indian Arts and Crafts Act of 1990 to illustrate how the art community's haste to secure Indigenous art has allowed those with a fraudulent identity to benefit.
