“13 Demands” of The Art Workers Coalition, submitted to Mr. Bates Lowry, director of the Museum of Modern Art, 28 Jan. 1969. Virginia Admiral papers, ca. 1947–1980.
When the kinetic artist Takis removed one of his own art works from the Museum of Modern Art in 1969, he was making the revolutionary claim that although MoMA owned the artwork, the artist had the right to control its exhibition and treatment. This prompted the formation of the Art Workers Coalition, the first act of which was to make “13 Demands” of MoMA, emphasizing artists’ rights.
