Milwaukee Art Museum director David Gordon takes exception to a Milwuakee Journal-Sentinel story painting the museum’s financial situation: “We have conditional commitments for over $16m of the $25m target, this being the gap between the $125m cost of the Calatrava, the gardens, the refitting of the permanent collection, and the $100m so far raised. On an operating basis before interest and depreciation we made a surplus for each of the past two years since the Calatrava opened and if we miss a surplus this year it should be by a small margin.”
