Tragedy! I was tipped off by DCist that the Corcoran Gallery might be leaving the District for Alexandria?! Wow, that would be bad. Say it ain’t so. And who is in the market to buy a big 115-year-old art gallery? What’s the market price anyway … $50 million? Hey, the White House is apparently estimated at $110 million.
Well, the good news is that this was inspiration for another “Three Things…” post. Let’s see if GoDC can dig up some bizarre and odd tales about the Corcoran Gallery.
Everyone in that picture seems to notice the vice presidential party.
Update: GW and NGA to take over Corcoran. This is a great deal for all involved – the Corcoran, George Washington University, the National Gallery and DC. GW will continue and enhance the educational mission of the Corcoran and will be preserving the landmark building, the National Gallery will be protecting the collection and all of this will happen in the District, keeping it local.
Practical analysis . I am thankful for the specifics , Does someone know if my assistant could access a blank a form copy to use ?
