A result of the economy being on the downside, some museums are not pushing the big, get on line, block busters shows
What is great about this is we get to see great work by lesser known artist more often. Everybody wins. I would think that the curators of these “smaller” shows would have a blast, getting to present works that are not part of the yearly diet. I love Picasso and someone else must have been creating some art.
