Vivian's work seems to be just as amazing as the photographers that our professor Bill Jay told enthralling stories about. I wonder if Vivian was aware of the work of notable 19th and 20th century photographers....like Cartier-Bresson....I wonder if there is any way to know....<br />So interesting! I will keep coming back to see more of her art.brenda edenhttp://beulahland.blogs.com/photography/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4935046131385109105.post-62210338560543931732011-01-12T11:54:05.999-08:002011-01-12T11:54:05.999-08:00Traditional management methods for museums would h...Traditional management methods for museums would have obliged MoMA to somehow separately turn up, at least implicitly, a cash endowment to care a donated collection of Vivian's material upon accepting it. They hesitated, of course. Those methods typically don't let museums use any of the financial value embedded in the donation to provide for its care. So, John has to consider other options besides donating to established major institutions playing by traditional rules.<br /><br />That's not a bad thing, though, when you consider the limited exposure these institutions offer even major artists -- most material is in storage most of the time. Their funding methods severely limit what they can spend on exhibitions, research and conservation. Vivian's legacy could be far better served by John creating a new institution using better financial methods to provide much better care and outreach. He might then teach the older players something new about managing a museum and its collection.<br /><br />John's in a pretty amazing position, and for that he's got to thank his own good eye, and Vivian's, and all the folks that appreciate one or the other or both.Dr. Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14615091282331722833noreply@blogger.com
