Re: where the Barnes might move to
The proposed reenactment of the Barnes Foundation is largely being done to not further upset the strict Barnes Foundation Charter, which states the art collection must hang in perpetuity as Barnes hung the art.
Barnes made all his money in pharmacology.
2 January 1872 Albert Barnes born in Kensington, a working-class Philadelphia neighborhood; 1466 Cook Street (now Wilt Street).
24 July 1951 Albert Barnes died in an automobile accident at age 78.
24-25 July 326 Helena Augusta dies at Naples.
24-25 July 2003 Marcus Ormerod and Howard Ray Lawrence issue a 'law of silence'.
just a nice coincidence
Just located 1466 Wilt Street at mapquest--it's about a half mile southeast of where I was baptized, and about three-quarters of a mile east-northeast of where St. John Neumann is lying under an altar.
Wonder where the auto accident happened.
I think I like Barnes' Matisse collection best of all.

To Fiske Kimball Marcel expresses his concern about Walter Arensberg who, since the death of his wife [26.11.53], "has completely retired in his work and refuses to communicate with the external world. Lou was too much a part of himself," Marcel believes, and concludes: "I am very sad that he does not seek refuge in his friends."

From Hollywood Walter Arensberg advises Marcel by cable that there is nothing for him to do in Philadelphia because Fiske Kimball is in California until after Christmas: the form for his consent to another special meeting [10.12.50] and the agenda is being sent by special delivery.
