Summary
The argument concludes that the Federici Art Museum’s board will not harm the quality of the museum’s collection by selling some artworks to raise funds. Why not? Because, according to the museum’s curator, the collection includes several inferior works that don’t contribute to the collection’s overall quality.
Notable Assumptions
The argument relies on the assumption that the curator is correct that some works in the museum’s collection don’t contribute to the collection’s quality. Otherwise, the curator’s opinion wouldn’t support the conclusion.
It also relies on the assumption that the board will only sell artworks that the curator has identified as inferior—in other words, that the board won’t sell high-quality artworks that are important to the collection.
