The Whitney Museum of American Art in New York has furloughed 76 members of staff, with director Adam Weinberg saying that he expects a revenue shortfall of around $7m this year. It is the latest of a string of similar announcements from US museums; most recently, the New Museum has also furloughed 41 staff members, or around a third of its workforce.
Collecting art is a journey that balances emotion, intuition, and long-term vision. While the art world may sometimes feel overwhelming, approaching it with curiosity and intention can make the process deeply rewarding. Each artwork you choose is not just a purchase but a reflection of your values, curiosity, and relationship to creativity.
