To select its gallery of contemporary paintings and sculpture, meditative Roland McKinney, onetime director of the Baltimore Museum, had traveled 30,000 miles and peered carefully at the handiwork of 350 U. S. artists. To assemble a central gallery of decorative arts, smart San Franciscan Dorothy Liebes whizzed through Europe last summer visiting ateliers from dawn to dusk, enlisted such distinguished U. S. and European designers as Richard Neutra...
