BOSTON – The Institute of Contemporary Art received the biggest gift in its history Thursday as local philanthropist Barbara Lee donated 20 works of art valued at $42 million, museum officials said.
The Seaport District museum said the sculpture, prints, videos and a room-size installation would be added to the Barbara Lee Collection of Art by Women, which was established in 2014. Lee is a member of the ICA board.
BOSTON – It's that time of year again: Holiday music wafts from radios and TVs, storefronts sport Christmas and Hanukkah decorations, and, when it arrives, the cold brisk air can be hard to take. To some, this marks the time to dig through family closets to find the tackiest sweater available.
Think tennis-ball green trees, hot pink Christmas stockings, or reindeer that look more like Bullwinkle the moose. There comes a day you can wear it with pride.
