A friend of mine is trying to see if Chris Burden’s “The Other Vietnam Memorial” is part of a permanent collection at any museum in the U.S.

I’ve seen that it has been on display at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago and MoMA in NYC, but I haven’t seen it listed as being exhibited anywhere in the US since 1998.

This doesn’t seem to be something that can be easily Googled.

There is a Vietnam art museum in Chicago that may have it. I believe it is the only Vietnam art museum in the country. Might be worth a look.

Would that be the National Vietnam Veterans Art Museum? If so, that place would not have this piece as it a memorial to the Vietnamese civilians killed during the war.

But I will keep checking.
