Enduring turmoil and controversy between 2002 and 2004 surrounding its legal challenge to move the Barnes collection from Merion to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and by subsequent lawsuits and protests, the Barnes Foundation’s projected 2012 opening of a new campus in Philadelphia seemed daunting. But the newly expanded Board of Trustees and the newly appointed executive team were determined to raise $200 million to build a new building, move the collection, and establish an operating endowment, while simultaneously recruiting and retaining a distinguished, committed staff to lead all artistic, programmatic and business functions of the 90-year-old start-up.
