The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, which in April laid off 135 of its on-call workers, has now made a further 55 redundancies across various departments (there were around 500 members of staff before the first wave of job cuts). Artnet reports that SFMoMA is projecting a deficit of $18 million for the financial year of 2021, on top of a projected $7 million deficit for 2020. An anonymous group of museum employees has written an open letter to the leadership asking it to reconsider its decision.
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.
