How important could San Francisco’s new contemporary art museum become? Well, consider the collection it’s being built to house. “Containing more than a thousand works, the Fisher collection ranks among the finest of its kind in the world. In today’s overheated art economy, its value at auction might break the billion-dollar mark… But the money tells the less significant half of the story. The Fisher collection contains numerous things – early works by Alexander Calder, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Agnes Martin, for example – unobtainable at any price because comparable pieces reside only in museums.”
