"I think there is a special kind of pleasure in working with a small group." Gates said in a telephone interview from New York. Gates, 37, is now assistant director of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. He will begin work as director of the Spencer Museum in January. BUT SUCH plans have to be coordinated with the Kansas University Endowment Association, he said. Gates said an important role of a museum should be to organize special exhibitions but that role was sometimes overused. The detriment of permanent collections He said that he had not yet made specific plans for the museum, but that he hoped to hire more curators as soon as possible. "I am personally of the opinion that museums spend too much of their resources on special exhibitions," he said. Spencer should try to bring three exhibits a year to the KU campus. "The business of art museums is to collect exhibits," Gates said. Jay Gates And because of this, Gates said he would like to focus his energy on acquiring works of art to strengthen collec- tions that are already in good shape, he said. Spencer Museum has good collections of European painting and sculpture and of art from the Middle Ages. HE SAID THAT, without neglecting other areas of the museum, he would like to strengthen the 18th century European art and sculpture collection. The market in ancient art is such that it is often a futile and expensive effort to try to make new acquisitions of that kind, he said. Chancellor Gene A. Budig said Tuesday that Gates "is one of the most promising young professionals in art museum administration today." "We are delighted to have him at the University of Kansas," Budig said. He is nationally known and his appointment is one of the high standing of Spencer Museum." Gates, who taught at the College of Wooster in Ohio 10 years ago, said that he was looking forward to teaching again but that he wanted to get settled into his new job before taking on academic duties. "I DIDN'T see a return to academics in the cards," he said. "The academic environment is a very attractive part of a job and I look forward to it." "Once I get the reigns of the museum comfortably in hand, then I will want to stare at them, probably would concentrate my attention in areas of American painting." Gates is a 1968 graduate of the College of Wooster in Ohio and completed his master's degree in 1970 at the University of Rochester. He has completed doctoral work at the University of Pittsburgh.
