Re "Selling Art and Selling Out" (Critic's Notebook, Sept. 11):
Roberta Smith's compelling article about the perils confronting the Detroit Institute of Arts mentions that the institute "exists for the benefit of the people of Detroit, the state and the region." Its importance, in truth, extends much farther than that. It is a valuable asset of the United States, and the entire country will suffer greatly if the institute's art is sold off to private investors in other lands.
The Metropolitan Museum is an asset of the United States, not just New York City. Mount Rushmore's importance extends beyond the borders of South Dakota. The Washington Monument belongs to more people than the citizens of the nation's capital. Independence Hall is important to all Americans, not just those in Philadelphia.
In the same way, the Detroit Institute of Arts and the treasures it holds should be recognized as a national monument that this country can ill afford to lose.
