Summary
Simpson argues that it’s fine for the museum to have a disproportionately small contemporary art collection because the museum curators believe that there aren’t very many high-quality contemporary artworks.
Notable Assumptions
Simpson explains why the contemporary collection is small—it’s because the curators don’t think very many contemporary works are high-quality—but she doesn’t establish that is the correct metric by which to judge the appropriateness of an art collection’s size. She assumes that the curators’ belief about the generally low quality of contemporary art is a sufficient justification for maintaining a small collection.
So to justify her reasoning, we’re looking for a principle that confirms that the size of a museum art collection should reflect the curators’ judgment on the number of high-quality artworks available.
