The directors of the Indianapolis Museum of Art (Max Anderson) and the New Orleans Museum of Art (John Bullard) are betting masterpieces on who will win the Super Bowl.
sample:
"Max Anderson must not really believe the Colts can beat the Saints in the Super Bowl. Otherwise why would he bet such an insignificant work as the Ingrid Calame painting? Let's up the ante. The New Orleans Museum of Art will bet the three-month loan of its $4 million Renoir painting, Seamstress at Window, circa 1908, which is currently in the big Renoir exhibition in Paris. What will Max wager of equal importance? Go Saints!"
It goes on from there. Follow it here.
I was at a dinner with Max Anderson when I worked at the Hood (he was director of the Whitney then) and am unsurprised.
Love that the museums are showing their community pride!
