ART

Artistic Gift: The Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation has given $50,000 each to four museums for the purchase of an artwork by a living artist. The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles used its gift to buy Barbara Bloom’s mixed-media installation, “The Reign of Narcissism.” Other recipients are the Contemporary Museum in Honolulu, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and the Menil Collection in Houston.
