One busy week

This week will be a full one with many events happening both in town and along the stretch of the river.
First of all, it's fair week in Manhattan. The Armory, Red Dot Fair, LA Art, Scope, Pulse , Fountain,
Art Show, and who know how many others will be open from mid to late week through the weekend.

Today's NYTimes had a story relating to the proliferation of private museums created by collectors to house their own collections. The article stated that Tom Eccles the director of the Hessel Museum at Bard, one of several such institutions in our area, will serve as moderator of a panel discussion sponsored by the ADAA held at MOMA on Saturday that will deal with the subject of "The museum as collector." I haven't been able to find any details on the discussion.
