The image shows a page from a document that appears to be discussing the collaboration and transfer of artworks between the Fogg and Busch-Reisinger Museums. Here is a detailed summary of the content:

• The Fogg and Busch-Reisinger Museums have been working to organize their art collections more logically.
• Certain categories of artworks are being concentrated in one museum or the other to make them more meaningful and useful as teaching instruments.
• The Busch-Reisinger Museum has transferred many of its prints to the Fogg Museum's print department to supplement the graphic art collection managed by the Curator of Prints.
• German paintings, sculpture, decorative arts, and early Netherlandish painting and sculpture are being transferred from the Fogg Museum to the Busch-Reisinger Museum. This allows these artworks to be exhibited for longer periods and in juxtaposition with similar works, enhancing their interest.
• When objects purchased by one museum are transferred to the other, the transfer is accompanied by a reimbursement of the purchase price. Gifts, however, are transferred without a corresponding transfer of funds, though some gift terms may prohibit transfers.
• The document mentions that over the past two years, objects have been received from the Busch-Reisinger Museum, though the specific details are cut off in the image.

The image shows a page from a book, specifically an excerpt from a document discussing the reorganization of art collections at the Fogg and Busch-Reisinger Museums. The text details efforts to consolidate various art categories in a more organized and logical manner to enhance their educational and teaching value.

Key points include:

• German paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts, along with early Netherlandish painting and sculpture, have been or will be transferred from the Fogg Museum to the Busch-Reisinger Museum. This transfer aims to increase the visibility and educational utility of these works by juxtaposing them with similar pieces.
• When objects are purchased by either museum, the transfer is accompanied by reimbursement of the purchase price.
• For gifts, the transfer is made without a corresponding transfer of funds, and sometimes, due to the terms of the gift, no transfer can be made.

The document further mentions that during the past two years, there have been transfers of objects from the Busch-Reisinger Museum.

and students.

During the past years, the Fogg and Busch-Reisinger Museums have undertaken to concentrate their works of art in a more logical way than heretofore. Certain categories, instead of being divided between the two institutions, are being concentrated in one or the other museum where they will become more meaningful and more useful as teaching instruments.

Most of the prints assembled by the Busch-Reisinger Museum over several decades, for example, have been transferred to the print department of the Fogg Museum, supplementing the large collection of the graphic art now under the care of the Curator of Prints. German paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts, along with early Netherlandish painting and sculpture, have been or soon will be transferred from the Fogg Museum to the Busch-Reisinger where they can be exhibited for longer periods of time and where, in juxtaposition with similar works, they gain in interest. In the case of objects purchased by one or the other museum, the transfer is accompanied by a reimbursement of the purchase price. In the case of gifts, the transfer is made without a corresponding transfer of funds. In certain instances the terms of the gift are such that no transfer can be made.

The image displays a page from a document discussing the reorganization and consolidation of art collections between the Fogg Museum and the Busch-Reisinger Museum. Here are the key points detailed in the text:

1. Reorganization Efforts: Over the past years, both museums have been working to organize their art collections in a more logical manner than previously done.

2. Concentration of Categories: Certain art categories that were previously divided between the two museums are now being concentrated in one or the other. This reorganization aims to make these collections more meaningful and useful as teaching tools.

3. Transfer of Prints: The Busch-Reisinger Museum has transferred most of its print collection, accumulated over several decades, to the print department of the Fogg Museum. This supplements the existing large collection of graphic art under the care of the Curator of Prints at the Fogg.

4. Transfer of German and Related Artworks: German paintings, sculpture, and decorative arts, along with early Netherlandish painting and sculpture, have been or will be moved from the Fogg Museum to the Busch-Reisinger Museum. This allows these pieces to be exhibited for longer periods and in juxtaposition with similar works, enhancing their interest and educational value.

5. Financial Considerations:

   • For objects purchased by either museum, transferring them involves a reimbursement of the purchase price.
   • For gifts, the transfer is made without a corresponding transfer of funds.
   • In some cases, the terms of the gift may prevent the transfer of certain items.

6. Time Frame: This reorganization process has been ongoing for the past two years.

The image shows an open book with text on the right-hand page. The page number is indicated as "-3-". The text discusses the reorganization of art collections between the Fogg and Busch-Reisinger Museums. Here is a detailed summary of the content:

The Fogg and Busch-Reisinger Museums have recently undertaken a reorganization of their art collections to make them more logically organized and effective for teaching purposes.

Key points include:

• The prints collected by the Busch-Reisinger Museum over several decades have been transferred to the print department of the Fogg Museum. This addition supplements the Fogg's existing large collection of graphic art, now under the care of the Curator of Prints.
• German paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts, along with early Dutch (Netherlandish) paintings and sculptures, have been or will soon be transferred from the Fogg Museum to the Busch-Reisinger Museum. This transfer aims to allow these pieces to be exhibited for longer periods and to gain more interest by being displayed alongside similar works.

The text also explains the financial aspects of these transfers:

• If an object was purchased by one museum, the transfer is accompanied by a reimbursement of the purchase price.
• If an object was a gift, the transfer is made without any corresponding transfer of funds.
• In some cases, the terms of the gift prevent any transfer from taking place.

The text concludes by mentioning that these changes have been implemented over the past two years.
