This is one of my favorite works of art, a great work of constructed realism. It is in possession currently/owned by the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. But Andrew Wyeth isn't highbrow or controversial enough for MOMA so they won't hang this painting for view in the museum - it's in storage. It seems to me that if they won't show the painting, they shouldn't have it.

All museums circulate their holdings. They have tons in storage at all times. They'll bring this out again at some point.
