Even the galleries of the newest museums are not quite so favorable." In keeping with

Quite a number of paintings and bronzes have been purchased by new clients." The former Union Club building

1560-423: The 1920s boom, the Grand Central Art Galleries were structured so that they could withstand economic downturns. Three funding streams were envisioned: members fees, which in the early years provided the majority of income; sales commissions; and proceeds from ticket sales.
