Summarize Argument
The author concludes that the board’s decision to sell some works will not detract from the quality of the museum’s collection. Why not? Because the collection includes some unsuccessful early works of great artists, which the curator thinks should be sold. The curator thinks that those works are of low quality and don't improve the quality of the collection.
Notable Assumptions
The author assumes that the curator is correct about the quality of the works and how they contribute to the museum’s overall quality. This means that the author is taking the curator as an authority on the issues, and adopting the curator's assumption that works of inferior quality can’t contribute to the overall quality of a museum.
