Ones and Zeros: The Barnes Collection

The Barnes Collection

October 22, 2003	News
NPR : Plan to Move Art Collection Sparks Protests My Cousin, John Anderson, was on NPR yesterday talking about the subject of his latest book, Art Held Hostage: The Battle Over the Barnes Collection. The Barnes Foundation is, 50 years after Albert Barnes death, on the verge of being taken over by the Philadelphia art establishment Barnes and his friend and successor Richard Glanton so loathed. It's a fascinating book, but I have to admit that I'm more jazzed about hearing my cousin's voice, talking about major east coast art-and-money squabbles with just a hint of East Texas in his voice.

Katie,

Thanks, I think so. The "NPR" link should take you tp the npr.org page for the segment. And if it goes away, then I've got a copy of the segment so that I can listen to it.

Cousin John Robert (yeah, we're from East Texas, that's what we call him) is not popular in establishment Philadelphia. His last book was about the Philadelphia city government's decision to drop a firebomb on a compound full of anti-government protesters.
