Software magnate and collector Peter Norton has recently found himself split in two – as a member of the boards of directors of the Whitney and the Museum of Modern Art. .”In recent years, the Whitney, founded as a showcase for American art, has featured more international art, putting it in more direct competition with MoMA. Mr. Norton now serves on committees at both museums. What happens if both are bidding on the same acquisitions at the same galleries, or vying to get the same exhibitions? In the social order of generations past, it would have been unheard of to serve on the Whitney and MoMA boards at once.”
