I always knew the Rockefellers were involved with the Museum of Modern Art, The Cloisters, and Williamsburg, but did not realize the extent and variety of their gifts and how much, at the time they impacted the acceptance of "modern" art in America. I enjoyed reading about the storm that surrounded Diego Rivera's mural at Rockefeller Center. Having money allows you to fulfill your whims and embark on shopping sprees, but it brings problems of its own like: defending how your beloved father made it, share it equitably between yourself and others, bring children up responsibly, or arguing within the family about what is good art. Art, as Abby Rockefeller liked to say, is good for the soul and enriches the spiritual life, and America's Medicis is an example of the benfits and pleasures a tycoon's money can provide at a time that the nation and the world is again struggling with the unequal distribution of wealth.
