You know that Serra is probably on some frat house lawn somewhere.

Georgia's withdrawn from this year's Eurovision, which is being held in Moscow. It's a shame, Georgia is usually fairly entertaining.

That Serra sculpture probably got recycled a long time ago. But, if the storage company went out of business and properly told its customers to come remove their things, and the museum did not, then the sculpture was probably legally sold. If somebody bought it, and kept it, they own it. And neither the museum or Serra can demand that it be destroyed.
