| Summary: | Excerpt: Art institutions have long benefited from bequests, whether monetary or material. A single substantial donation or acquisition through the endowment of a philanthropist, usually a scholar or a known art collector, can set in motion the burgeoning of an art institution. This is true of premier universities like Oxford, Cambridge, University College London, Yale, and Harvard. This is also mirrored in the Philippines, with the core of the Ateneo Art Gallery’s Permanent Collection being gifted to the Ateneo by Fernando Zobel; with the Jorge B. Vargas collection finding its way to the University of the Philippines; and the donation of Wili and Doreen Fernandez finding its way to The Museum of De La Salle University not too long ago. |
