Album covers you might recognize…part of a local art exhibition.

Blue Shadow

Waiting for Vintage Gear from this century
WRTI Local classical in the daytime, jazz at nighttime public radio station had the announcement on their site.
The Barnes Foundation is a recent addition, 2012, to the Philadelphia art scene in a building down the Parkway from the Phila Art Museum, the Rocky Steps for many here.

Here is the announcement of the current exhibition at The Barnes with some album covers many know.


The story of The Barnes Foundation including how the artwork was collected and the fight to move it out of a residential area to its new home for more to see might be worth a read, too.

After looking at a short list of the contents of The Barnes, I looked for value. Only an estimate available, $25 billion. How’s that compare, looked up the Louvre and it contains about $35 billion in a much larger space. Albert C. Barnes bought early and often when traveling overseas amassing his amazing collection.

I lived around the corner from the Barnes in Merrion, when I first moved to the Philadelphia area, 20 years ago last month. The neighbors really hated the Barnes and the traffic that it brought, but they were just as distraught when it left.
