Jayne Wrightsman, Grande Dame Benefactor Of The Arts Of New York, Has Died At 99

Wrightsman, like her husband before her, was a big donor and a trustee at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. “While giving millions to buy art and refurbish galleries, her involvement was often more personal. She spent many days walking through the galleries, examining paintings and artifacts, talking to curators, and analyzing the museum’s artistic needs.” – The New York Times
