A Trash-Night Painting Became a Museum - Why Am I Louise Reilly Sacco

About this episode

What happens when a painting pulled from the trash turns into a beloved museum, and the person who agreed to keep the checkbook ends up running it for thirty years? Greg sits down with Louise Reilly Sacco, a lifelong Boston Irish kid, the permanent interim acting executive director of the Museum of Bad Art, and a Fenway Park usher for twenty years. Together they trace the story of Lucy in the Field with Flowers and the artists who call to say "that's mine," and they wander into who gets to decide what counts as good art. They also talk about the green grass opening up at the top of the ramp and the regulars who keep asking, "Where's Louise?"
