Musée Magazine Do you have any plans for your collection? Well I’m working on that, (laughs) I have to have a powwow with my kids and with museums. I would like a lot of it go to different museums, and I give away things now and then. I just have to figure out what I have to do. A lot of it will probably go to the Whitney, the Norton, and the Parrish. Any habits that you would like to break? The shopping habit; the feeling that I have to have it.
Is there anything about your life that you do not like? Yes, I don’t like the hustle and bustle that much. I think I travel to get away from those obligations. Not that I don’t like keeping busy and doing stuff, it’s just that sometimes it gets overwhelming. The paper work just gets crazy. ■
