‘Many of the great art museums of the world have been built around the foresight of people who have made significant donations, bequests or endowments,’ reminded Robert Heather, Director of New England Regional Art Museum (NERAM).
We tend to primarily think of bequests as those gifts coming from major collectors and philanthropists, but many of us who work in the visual arts – arts professionals and artists – equally hold extremely interesting and valuable collections.
