A $5 Million Gift for Art in Arizona

· 1 min read

The Phoenix Art Museum has received $5 million, a figure on the public record and worth stating plainly. The report did not name the donor or say how the money will be used, so we won't guess at either. What it does show is generosity at a scale that matters, given to an American art museum. This desk follows where serious money goes, and a seven-figure gift to a museum is news we are glad to carry.

With reporting from Surface.
