Even as the Covid-19 pandemic took an enormous toll on US art museums in 2020, forcing many to close their doors for months and make painful staff layoffs, several quietly continued to collect art. They mainly drew on earmarked acquisition funds that cannot legally be used for other purposes, given the terms of the original donors’ gifts and the laws that govern non-profits.
Most of the country’s great encyclopaedic art museums have these restricted acquisition funds, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (MFAH). So do some mid-sized museums, whether the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco or the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago.

I started my fashion brand to do architecture says Virgil Abloh
Fashion designer Virgil Abloh doesn t believe in disciplines and instead thinks architecture should be used to explore many things. In this interview, he explains how his architectural training helped create his brand Off-White.
Abloh told Dezeen that after receiving a master s degree in architecture from the Illinois Institute of Technology, he chose to build a fashion brand rather than take the traditional architectural route to continue his career. I don t believe in disciplines, Abloh told Dezeen. We can use our architecture brain and do many things, not just what we re supposed to do.
