	The PA Art Educator - Vol 2 - The Barnes Foundation....
		Thus, the Barnes Foundation is unique in that an extraordinary collection was developed and maintained by its founder specifically as a laboratory for learning, and unique in that it is the repository of the largest teaching collection of art in the world.
		The Barnes' extraordinary collection is used instrumentally to teach specific, educational objectives; it is the primary resource—a working laboratory— for the students in the Foundation's educational program, and it exists solely for that purpose (Barnes Foundation Indenture of Trust).
		The trustees of the Barnes led by Richard Glanton, the president of the Barnes Foundation, petitioned the court to override that stipulation of the By-laws, so that 15 of the paintings could be sold to generate capital for renovations and repairs that were said to be needed at the aging institution.

		In September 2002 the present Barnes Foundation trustees sought court permission to allow the art collection to be moved from its Merion building, designed by architect Paul Philippe Cret (1876-1945), to an as yet undesigned modern structure on the parkway in Philadelphia.
		A group known as Barnes Watch believes that there is no need to move, loan, or sell the Barnes Foundation art collection, and all that is required is sound fiscal management and a return to the foundation's original emphasis on its program of art education.
		Barnes Watch (a group dedicated to preserving the Barnes education programs) said that if it were operated according to Dr. Barnes's indenture, the institution's yearly operating budget could be even lower.

		Yesterday's news that the trustees of the Barnes Foundation have petitioned the court to move its collection of art from its home in Merion, Pa., to Philadelphia, should give pause to anyone who is considering a philanthropic bequest.
		Barnes sought to create an alternative educational institution devoted to connoisseurship and aesthetic sensitivity.
		Last year, the new head of the foundation, Kimberly Camp, dismissed as "ridiculous" suggestions that the foundation move to Philadelphia and that it be absorbed by or ally itself with the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

		The foundation, whose suburban gallery holds one of the world's most important private art collections, wants permission to move to downtown Philadelphia in a bid to avoid bankruptcy.
		The plan required court approval because the Barnes' founder, Dr. Albert Barnes, had instructed in his will that his paintings were to "remain in exactly the places they are." He died in 1951.
		The foundation, arguing to break the will, said that moving to a spot near the Philadelphia Museum of Art was the only way to stay afloat.

	Barnes Foundation to get $25M in state funds - PhillyBlog - Philadelphia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The Barnes Foundation said it needs $150 million to move its collection from the small, suburban limestone gallery that pharmaceutical magnate Albert Barnes built to house it in the 1920s.
		Foundation trustees say restrictions in Barnes' will and zoning regulations in affluent Lower Merion Township have limited the current gallery to about 400 visitors each of the three days a week it can be open, causing the foundation to teeter on the brink of bankruptcy.
		Given Dr. Barnes' unorthodox theories of art and his unique method of art education--which used all of the Barnes Foundation property, including the galleries as designed and the grounds surrounding the Paul Phillippe Cret building, as classroom--"The Barnes Belongs in Merion" is not just an idle slogan.

	Broad Street Review
		Sadly, for most of the 55 years since Albert Barnes’s death, the Barnes Foundation, vocal supporters of the status quo, and the courts have directed disproportionate attention to the form rather than the substance of Barnes’s will and away from what is most important among his foundation’s various objectives.
		The second noteworthy principle is that the Barnes Foundation is a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization— and as such it must pursue and fulfill important public interests.
		The Barnes Foundation’s primary purposes are: (1) Implementation of Albert Barnes’s distinctive philosophy of arts education; (2) preservation of his distinctive installation of his collection; and (3) primary focus on the working-class publics who were intended as the beneficiaries of Barnes’s unusual form of pedagogy.

		PHILADELPHIA - The Barnes Foundation may move its multibillion-dollar art collection from a hard-to-visit, but unique suburban gallery to a new museum in downtown Philadelphia that could be visited by thousands of tourists, a judge ruled Monday.
		The foundation's creator, Dr. Albert Barnes, had instructed in his will that his private collection never be moved from the special gallery he built for it in Lower Merion, a suburb just past the city limits.
		The Barnes Foundation first announced in September of 2002 that it wanted to move from the suburbs to Philadelphia's museum district as part of an ambitious plan to stave off bankruptcy.

	The Barnes Foundation's bad move Apollo - Find Articles
		The Barnes Foundation, the creation of patent-medicine millionaire Albert Barnes in 1922, owns one of the world's most celebrated collections of Impressionist and post-Impressionist paintings, housed in a gallery opened in 1925.
		Barnes made many major acquisitions after the gallery was opened--such paintings as Cezanne's Card players were intended not just for this building but for specific sites within it.
		The Barnes is equally important, and the threatened dismantling of its original home deserves all the condemnation already heaped on its trustees.

	Artful Dodging
		At issue in the case was the recommendation that Barnes’ 1951 will be overturned in an attempt to reinvigorate his art gallery’s sagging finances.
		Barnes’ will demands that his phenomenal collection -- which includes original Renoirs, Matisses and Monets -- must remain on display in suburban Lower Merion in perpetuity and that it be used primarily to enhance art education.
		The plan, which Maroney considers a form of legal "tenancy in common," appears relatively simple: A selected number of Barnes’ paintings, not currently on display, would be sold to interested art collectors for the duration of the buyers’ lifetimes, but returned to the Barnes Foundation upon their deaths.

		Trustees of the Barnes Foundation had argued for two years that they should be allowed to move the collection of Renoirs, Cezannes, Matisses and Picassos to a new $100 million replica gallery to be built in the heart of Philadelphia.
		Barnes had left instructions in his will that the collection be kept forever in its current home in Lower Merion, but foundation officials said decades of limited attendance and high costs at the stately limestone gallery near the city limits have left it nearly bankrupt.
		Traditionalists have fought the move, saying it would destroy a unique setting and violate Barnes' wish that the collection be primarily used as a teaching tool for the foundation's art school.

		A judge's decision on Monday to let the Barnes Foundation move its vaunted collection of modernist paintings to Philadelphia's Museum Mile has met with the usual wringing of art-world hands: The magical neo-Classical setting that Albert Barnes created to house his collection in the Philadelphia suburb of Merion will be lost.
		In short, the Barnes had become too much about Barnes and his vision and not enough about the art and the people who needed to see it.
		Of course, if Barnes had collected rot instead of masterpieces, no one would be contesting his restrictions; there would be no hue and cry about moving the paintings.

		The Barnes Foundation in Merion, Pennsylvania, which is seeking court permission to expand its board and move its prestigious art collection to downtown Philadelphia, has been ordered to release a financial audit it had fought to keep private, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
		The audit, which was commissioned in 1998 after the Pennsylvania attorney general contacted the foundation with questions about its spending, covers 1992 to 1997, a period when the Barnes made millions of dollars from a world tour of its French Impressionist paintings but also began to run a deficit.
		As a public trust, the foundation must convince the court that moving the collection from its present suburban location to a more accessible location downtown is necessary for it to survive financially.

		ROSE: There is another model for the Barnes Foundation, says John Neff, one that would free the Barnes to concentrate on its educational mission: Keep it where it is, come up with a responsible budget and put $150 million into its endowment.
