What's New at MoMA?
It looks like a whole lot of drawings.
Earlier this week MAN hinted that MoMA has taken Harvey Shipley Miller's drawing collection. Today The Art Newspaper has MoMA on the record as accepting the gift (as a follow-on to a lede about the purchase of even more real estate on the block). The piece, however, puts an estimate on the collection of approximately $10M, somewhat less than the $75M insured value that Miller was throwing around last summer and fall.
I would still like to have answers to the questions I asked about the gift last September. Chances are, though, that I'll never get them.
