When the Philadelphia public school district discovered earlier this month that it was in possession of an art collection potentially valued at tens of millions of dollars, it was hard to know what to do about it. What the district is doing is to mount a full-scale measure of what exactly it has, where it all came from, what it may or may not be worth, and how such a varied and amorphous collection of works could best be utilized in an educational sense. One thing is for sure – the district doesn’t intend to sell any of the works – but it will take great resolve for officials to avoid being stampeded by the various interested parties sure to come out of the woodwork.
