Public Gets Glimpse of Private Museum

NEW YORK—Art collector and Michael Dell money manager Glenn Fuhrman opened his private Chelsea museum to the public this weekend with "Attention to Detail," a show curated by Chuck Close, Bloomberg reports.

None of the works—done by 50 artists, including Louise Bourgeois, Marc Quinn, and Robert Gober—are for sale. A Damien Hirst pill cabinet may be the most valuable work; a similar cabinet in the 2002 series of four sold for $19 million last year. The show can be seen only by appointment except for occasional public openings, the next of which is on February 9.

Flag Art Foundation, which runs the space, is planning two or three shows a year. The next, "Wall Rockets," will have with a different curator and may borrow works from more than 20 collectors.
