Patron Magazine interviewed Temple Shipley, collection manager for Dee Mitchell, in regards to “Goodbye’s are not forever” a celebration of Dee’s life in art and books. its a great read, and was struck by Temple’s quote;
“That longer horizon shapes how the collection is understood. “These objects often outlive their collectors,” Shipley says. “That’s a simple fact, but it has real implications.” Having worked with the collection for over a decade, she frames this moment not as an endpoint but as part of a longer trajectory, one that raises questions about how collections are built, sustained, and understood over time.” - Patron 2026
