What great collectors can do with what they have assembled.

What do you do with a collection of towering beauty.  My guess is that you will be deeply moved seeing the brilliant, step by step thought process that went into creating the absolute masterpieces that you have acquired.

A stirring exhibit or video could be developed with this collection alone.

Sooner or later you are going to decide that you wish to use your collection to inspire students aged 18 to 28.  Your agents will be professors rewarded financially to generate graded papers.  After 40 years of doing this, I have come to the realization that virtually all other uses are unsubstantial - charades used by professional fundraising glad handers to get my money.   Think about what specific events developed your passion.  How do you create more people like you during this critical learning time?

Professors are smart but proud and stubborn.  They cannot be directed.  Best to let them come up with ideas that engender the USE of your acquisitions.   Many times I have been delighted with their ingenious avenues.
