Scope and Contents

John Russell contends that "the same few artists dominate all the major contemporary collections...[because] we feel comfortable with what we know, and for better and for worse that sensation is available in full measure in museums of modern art...It is, in fact, the buildings, and not what we see in them, that are full of surprises." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
