The Institute for Policy Studies reported in August that America’s 708 private billionaires have grown $1.8 trillion richer during the pandemic.Įntertainment & Arts Commentary: Art museum endowments soared in the pandemic. America’s billionaire class - which includes the Met, given its prepandemic endowment of roughly $3.6 billion - has fared spectacularly well over the last 18 months. 7, brought in about half a million dollars.) Rather than sequester the money for future acquisitions, which is routine, the Met told Christie’s it would be spent on daily operations - mostly salaries, it appears - “in consideration of revenue losses from the ongoing pandemic.”įor one thing, the claim of desperate financial need is at best disingenuous. Where the problem arises is in the planned use for the funds raised from the sales. But the Met is a general, encyclopedic museum, so its priorities lie elsewhere. A museum specializing in prints or photographs might want to keep duplicates, since analysis of slight shifts or changes in print production can be revealing for scholarship.

This move is so egregious that it threatens to harm the entire museum field. Unfortunately, at the other end of the spectrum, another museum offers a dismal example of exploiting its art collection as a virtual bank. The practice of connecting with crystals and stones is a practice that is very individual between you and the Earth through the mineral kingdom and one that is developed over time.The fall auction season is underway in New York, and, as expected, several art museums have sent significant works to the block.Īt least one surprising consignment, a marvelous 1930 Picasso painting unseen in public for six decades, is a fine example of prudent collection management that stands to substantially strengthen its owner’s educational mission.
