THE VERY GENEROUS KIMBELL

Fort Worth’s Kimbell Museum, which surprised the art world earlier this year when it was revealed that the museum paid $1.5 million in salary to two of its board members, has finally filed its tax return for last year. “The generosity of the board toward Cline and the Fortsons was paralleled by the nearly $1.6 million dispensed to its favored charities – more than five times the amount it gave in 1998. Many of the charities’ boards are heavily weighted with Kimbell board members, kinfolk, or employees, in spite of foundation claims to the contrary.” – Fort Worth Weekly
