Artful Contributions
The director of the High Art Museum in Atlanta regards two HBS graduates as the “twin pillars” of the museum’s recently completed $124 million expansion project. Terry Stent (MBA ’68), chairman of the museum’s board of directors, and his wife, Margaret, have been major donors as well as helping shape the museum’s collections and programs. ARTnews magazine last summer ranked the couple among the world’s top 200 art collectors. “Terry has the passion and emotional voltage of the collector, balanced with the reasoned, businesslike approach of a Harvard MBA,” museum Director Michael Shapiro told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (October 30, 2005).
The second “pillar” is John Wieland (MBA ’64), a past chairman and current member of the board. As chairman of John Wieland Homes & Neighborhoods and with 35 years of construction experience, he served as the board’s point person on the expansion project. He and his wife, Sue, also are avid art collectors. “The thrill of the High project is that it’s a really big-budget job,” Wieland told the Journal-Constitution (October 30, 2005).
