NY Times: impact of the individual collector

I frequently approach the Arts section of the Sunday Times with an expectation of disappointment. The monster is chock full of Broadway show ads and page upon page of analysis of the performing arts with usually nary a word about photography or the visual arts. (I only receive the paper on the weekends. Am I reading on the wrong day?)

This weekend, I was pleasantly surprised to see an extensive analysis of the impact of private photography collections on the curatorial direction of major museums, such as the Met, MoMA, SFMoMA, and the deYoung Museum, amongst others. A well-researched article on a subtle topic.

(Read this quick. I wasn't able to get a permanent link for the article and the Times has this charming habit of pulling articles after two weeks, I think.)
