The exhibit, “In the Mind of the Collector,” includes a variety of objects not all of which fit the usual definitions of contemporary art. Photo: Mkhitar Khachatryan. In the Mind of the Collector Eagle Garden Hall Throughout his life, Gerard L. Cafesjian has indulged a passion for collecting that encompasses areas lying outside the arena of contemporary art. His varied interests are on continuous display in an exhibition titled, In the Mind of the Collector. Although the objects on view are not always strictly definable as art, they are, without exception, aesthetically engaging, sometimes curious, and often amusing, lending insight into the man who collected them. On view is an eclectic collection ranging from a 28-foot model of a ship on which Mr. Cafesjian served in the Pacific during World War II, to a rare 1906 Model N Ford Runabout, and a working model of a Wabash steam locomotive. f A 28-foot model of a ship on which Gerard L.
