A large piece of property next to the Barnes Collection is about to be sold. Could the property represent a solution to the Barnes’ financial woes? “Were it to acquire a slice of Episcopal’s campus for a short access road, the Barnes could open an entrance on busy City Avenue, solving at a stroke the intractable traffic and parking disputes that have dogged the institution for years. Add a parking lot, and thousands more paying customers could see the foundation’s unrivaled collection of Renoirs, Matisses and Cezannes in the original halls designed by founder Albert C. Barnes for his collection. With a few other simple changes, the operating deficits that have plagued the Barnes for years would be gone.”
