Clark Bars the Barnes?

The Clark Art Institute this Friday and Saturday will host a lecture and symposium in Williamstown, Mass., on the topic of private-collector museums—a subject I have explored in some depth for both the Wall Street Journal and NY Times.
My articles discussed the special aura of such “jewel box” museums and lamented the now successful campaign to get court approval for transplanting the Barnes Foundation to Philadelphia. Similarly, the Clark’s press release extols the “special influence and fascination connected to ‘collector’s museums'” and the “powerful attraction that collections like the Wallace, the Gardner, the Frick, and the Clark still exert over the gallery-going public.”
Notably absent from this list, though, is the soon-to-be-disassembled creation of Albert Barnes. We can only hope that the participants or some questioners from the audience will discuss the elephant in the room.
