Property Values

Question 1: Museums turned away Haacke's art and then later accepted it, was there any specific reason why they rejected it? Or is this just the common case that happens to all artists, that their art isn't accepted until much later, or is there a specific reason why? Also, discussing cancellation would be helpful as well.

Question 2: Could we go over this concept more? "From Messer's obfuscating explanations of what constitutes unacceptable specificity- naming individuals only and, simultaneously, and nongeneralized reference to a social situation- it is only reasonable to conclude that the ral-estate pieces in fact contained two kinds of specificity that the museum found objectionable: first the detailed identification of the activities of a landlord whose right to operate out pof public biew had to be protected and second, the implicit designation of a broader framework for this system in a historically specific structre of property relations" (621).
