Mother Art Museums

More From David Rockefeller

The place has had a super-conflicted relationship to its mission. in 1956, it opened as the museum of contemporary crafts. then in 1986 it had a midlife crisis and changed its name to the american craft museum. then in 2002 the name changed again, this time to the museum of arts and design. maybe in 2025 the place will be called the designatorium. the big problem with a museum of craft and design is that all art has craft and design.

I nodded. i liked augustus waters. i really, really, really liked him. i liked the way his story ended with someone else. i liked his voice. i liked that he took existentially fraught free throws. i liked that he was a tenured professor in the department of slightly crooked smiles with a dual appointment in the department of having a voice that made my skin feel more like skin. and i liked that he had two names. i’ve always liked people with two names, because you get to make up your mind what you call them: gus or augustus? me, i was always just hazel, univalent hazel.

It took the metropolitan museum of art nearly 50 years to wake up to pablo picasso. it didn't own one of his paintings until 1946, when gertrude stein bequeathed that indomitable quasi-cubistic picture of herself - a portrait of the writer as a sumo buddha - to the met, principally because she disliked the museum of modern art.

The only thing i collect is art. i collect it because i like looking at it. a lot of it is really personal stuff that my friends have made, paintings that my husband's mother made, and things that i bought. i buy abstract art on ebay, and i buy some outsider art on ebay, or what is called folk art, i buy a lot of. i have a lot of professional art work as well as more stuff my friends' kids make. to have a wall of art to look at, i feel really surrounded by love, because so much of the work is related to my friendships.

I don't decide where i live. my wife decides. she's a curator of contemporary art, and she works at an art museum, so we go wherever she has a job. all basements look the same, so i can write from whatever basement i happen to be living in.

To be a true progressive it is not sufficient to stand up and say that one belives in what has been promulgated as progressive principles. one must be progressive in heart and active in promoting the progressive principles of today, tomorrow and always. there is no resting point, for humanity is ever ascending to a higher and better goal.
