Art Pass Update

Back in April I posted an item on the new National Art Pass, launched by Britain’s fundraising charity the Art Fund (CLICK). It has proved a success. The Art Fund reports that its membership has increased by 15% to nearly 90,000 members in 2011 (title link). Sales of the Pass go toward helping museums buy art. Some of it is great art, some of it not so great. Above is Alex Katz's Anna Wintour (2009) which the Art Fund helped to buy.
