Where Money’s No Object, Space Is No Problem - New York Times

Where Money’s No Object, Space Is No Problem - New York Times: "As the Wrights and the Shirleys acquired substantial holdings in outdoor sculpture, they lamented the lack of a site where they might be displayed if bequeathed to the city.

(Ms. Gates, formerly the director of the Yale University Art Gallery, has led the museum since 1994 and is married to William H. Gates Sr., father of Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft.)"
