Michelle, Thank you very much for posting the link to this excellent article. I will file a copy with our public art resources for future reference. Sheila Sheila Kollasch, Museum Assistant (Registrar and Collections Manager) Phoenix Airport Museum “Every piece an artist creates is the product of what that artist has observed, considered, imagined, lived, and collected. It is both culmination and artifact. And for the true artist, every creation is one more step on a journey with no clear destination . . . a breadcrumb in a fairy tale, a cairn beside a mountain trail, a sign intended both to guide others and to mark where the explorer has been.”—Peter Turchi, Director, Piper Center for Creative Writing, Arizona State University Michelle Gallagher Roberts <[log in to unmask]> Sent by: Museum discussion list <[log in to unmask]> 11/01/2012 10:47 AM Please respond to Museum discussion list <[log in to unmask]> To [log in to unmask] cc Subject [MUSEUM-L] The Artwork That Infuriated Big Coal An interesting article about donors, artwork and the University of Wyoming Art Museum.
