Art and commerce
There's no happy balance between art and commerce in the world of museums -- in this New York Times article Michael Kimmelman admits this isn't a new thing, but he's sure unhappy about it. He covers the Tut-for-profit thing and a number of what strike him as bad major gifts to and sales by major museums. One repeated refrain -- curators don't make decisions. I wonder when they ever did?
