For those of us "people in the area" who "might be interested" (which
includes at least me & Rod Stasick), could you provide more information
about this collection, like an address, a URL, or some other way to
contact them.
From the little I could find online, it seems like they're one of
several families who've promised to donate their collections of
contemporary art to the Dallas Museum, but my understanding at this time
is that most of this work (with the exception of the Rachofsky
collection (which is in a remarkable Richard Meier-designed house) is
still in private homes that aren't open to the public.
Thanks in advance.
Bests,
Herb
