“The income we have generated through increased business is superior to any income we could generate from selling the collection.”
I somehow missed this article last week: financially struggling museums are hosting “turnkey,” or pre-made, exhibits from the art collections of corporate banks. Seems like a win-win on the surface, but some issues- ethical, curatorial and otherwise- are being raised. A really good read, particularly the disparate perspectives of representatives from elite versus regional institutions.
Excellent site, keep up the good work. I read a lot of blogs on a daily basis and for the most part, people lack substance but, I just wanted to make a quick comment to say I’m glad I found your blog. Thanks,
A definite great read.. ..
