Aside from that, it seems to me that more times than not when I look at the 
reproduction of a painting or piece of sculpture in a book, its label says 
it is from someone's collection.  Seems to me, most exhibits I read about 
have a lot of work from private collections, too.  Of course, no one should 
have anything that not everyone else has, but at least these guys loan it 
out.
