i`m really not sure if the court can liquidate something held in the public trust. who actually owns the art work and who is going to value the paintings and how are they to be sold. the court could sell the building but if i remember correctly there is famous art work painted on the building. the state could buy the building and it`s art taking it out of the public trust.. then he can sell it to his friends!
