Hammer Loans Painting to Fogg
By James Cramer
The article discusses the recent loan of the painting "Juno" by Rembrandt from Armand Hammer to the Fogg Art Museum at Harvard University.

Hammer, a businessman with a passion for art, decided to share his collection more widely after being encouraged by Seymour Slive, the director of the Fogg Art Museum.
Hammer had initially kept "Juno" at his office and was hesitant to loan it out due to past negative experiences with public institutions. However, Slive's persistence and the assurance that the painting would be displayed prominently and securely led Hammer to agree to the loan.
The article also mentions that Hammer owns a significant collection of art, including works by Rembrandt, which he has decided to share with the public through exhibitions.
