Donna Forbes stepped down from the Yellowstone Art Museum 25 years ago. It’s her private art collection, 28 pieces in all. The museum can’t hazard a guess on monetary value, but the cultural value of adding these pieces to the YAM’s permanent collection is immense. “It’s very much building on the core modernist collection that’s here,” Lisa Ranallo, the YAM’s curator, said of the Forbes collection. McConnell was on hand last year when museum staff visited Forbes’ home to take stock of the pieces.
