DETROIT - Money problems have forced the Detroit Institute of Arts to cancel three scheduled exhibitions.
A major show, 'Baroque 1620-1800: Style in the Age of Magnificence,' organized by the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, had been booked for the Detroit museum this fall. But the DIA says it couldn't shoulder the added financial burden after the exhibit's only other North American venue -- which it isn't naming -- dropped out.
The Detroit Free Press says the DIA's shaky finances and Michigan's struggling economy also prompted the cancellations of a print show devoted to Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns and Jim Dine scheduled to open in July, and a show of prints and drawings related to books scheduled to open in November."
I live in the Detroit Metro area. Things are tough.
