Smithsonian artist Leon Kennedy. Smithsonian artist Leon Kennedy. In 1997 the Smithsonian Institution purchased the 220 most significant pieces from the Rosenak collection including an outstanding 1995 Leon Kennedy bedsheet painted with numerous figures. The Folk Art Messenger (1997 Vol.10 No.3) reported this acquisition, involving millions of dollars, makes the The National Museum of American Art the world's preeminent repository for American self-taught art. "It is our desire to see them as part of the history of 20th-century American art," said Chuck Rosenak. Mentioning Kennedy, the article goes on to note these works were the first American collection exhibited at the Collection de l'Art Brut in Switzerland, which "testifies to its quality and uniqueness." This Leon Kennedy masterwork now resides at the Smithsonian American Art Museum, while photos of Kennedy and other materials are stored at the National Archives in Wasington, D.C. Kennedy is also included in Betty-Carol Sellen's important survey, "Self Taught, Outsider, and Folk Art." In 2006 two of Kennedy's paintings formed a major part of the yearlong exhibit at Baltimore's prestigious American Visionary Art Museum, "Race, Class, Gender," which travelled in 2007 to the Lowell Revolving Museum.

Smithsonian Agreement Collapses - Gold Ownership Resumes In August 1971, President Nixon unilaterally ended the Bretton Woods international monetary system of fixed exchange rates. In December 1971, the Smithsonian agreement was reached, establishing new fixed exchange rates with a devalued US dollar. Thirteen months later, the Smithsonian agreement began to collapse. Once Nixon ended Bretton Woods, the official role of gold in international monetary affairs was de facto ended. However, a kind of pretend relationship between the dollar and gold persisted on paper. Private gold holdings in the US has been banned in 1934 when President Roosevelt raised the official price of gold to $35/oz. With the Smithsonian collapse, whatever rationale there had been for banning private gold holding ended and the law was changed. The first clips shows the early collapse of the Smithsonian system and Congressional desire for flexible exchange rates. The second shows the failure of an attempt to stabilize the dollar in that period. And the third shows resumption of private gold ownership.
