I wonder what was lost in private collections in homes as well

It’s going to take years before we find out all that was lost. Devastating. So many of these artists already live hand to mouth

💔Excellent story, and not part of most mainstream media coverage, who are focusing on a much 'smaller' target, personal losses.
