The future of a vast collection of public #artwork is in doubt as the #Trump admin plans to fire workers who preserve & maintain more than 26m pieces owned by the US govt, including #paintings & #sculptures by renowned #artists, some dating to the 1850s.
#FineArts & historic #preservation workers at the GSA said that ≧5 regional offices were shuttered & that more than half of the division’s approximately 3 dozen staff members were put on leave pending terminations.
