BARBARA JONAS Obituary
Jonas, a wise and generous friend. Barbara joined the Board in 1992, and her deep interest in modern art was an indelible asset to the work of the foundation, particularly through the Art and Museum Committee and gifts of important modern artworks. The Guggenheim is indebted to Barbara and her husband Donald for their profound involvement in directing its future and extending its mission beyond museum walls.
