1. The DIA is very aware that is belongs to the city and makes it a point to look like a good city asset, so it doesn't go around distancing itself from Detroit.

2. The more I think about the idea that art would be sold in receivership, the more I am convinced that the state would intervene to prevent this from happening. The state has given the museum many millions of dollars over the years and is as much a stakeholder in this as anyone. If Michigan's trove of great art [[yes, much of it claimed by Detroit) is lost, the state gets a black eye.
