LA's MOCA In Deep Trouble
"Los Angeles' prestigious but chronically underfunded Museum of Contemporary Art has fallen into crisis... The museum has burned through $20 million in unrestricted funds and borrowed $7.5 million from other accounts. Cash from donors is being sought. A merger has not been ruled out." Los Angeles Times 11/19/08
