He didn't have the Barnes in mind when he said this; however, I know that he values very highly his and his colleagues' experiences at the Barnes. There they learned how "to see" art. Anyway, here is a quote that I believe applies to the Barnes in Merion were it to be dismantled: “Art thieves steal more than beautiful objects; they steal memories and identity. They steal history.” From “His Heart Is in the Art of Sleuthing” by Randy Kennedy, NYTimes, June 6, 2010 http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/07/arts/design/07wittman.html One other thing I meant to add was a quote from Robert Whitman, the retired F.B.I. expert on art theft.

That is because it is not so. On the contrary; the Barnes in Merion is stable, few unknowns as risk factors, and a tiny operating deficit; some years it has had none at all. The Parkway project on the other hand, exposes the Barnes to risks of uncertainty, massive operating deficits with, and a business plan out of all proportion to standard practice in similar institutions. The moral, ethical questions have long ago been settled in favor of preservation of the intact Merion site. Today, though, there needs to be frank discussion about the economic and financial issues. I am looking for someone who can help to do a brief review of the facts that we have available. Would you be interested in helping with this very important, urgent work? If you are, would you please drop me a line by e-mail to eyaari@comcast.net. Thanks for considering it. Kind regards, Evelyn Yaari Dear Milena,
