The battle over the Albright-Knox Gallery’s controversial planned deaccessions moves tomorrow to the Buffalo Common Council, which will hold a hearing on this issue.
Meanwhile, the Buffalo News published an editorial on Saturday supporting the upcoming disposals at Sotheby’s, which it said were regrettable but necessary to give the museum “[financial] resources for collecting.”
Speaking of Sotheby’s: Change you calendar; the time of the conference call during which it will discuss its 2006 earnings report has been moved up to 10:15 a.m. this Thursday.
Modern Art Notes links to updates on another controversial deaccession: Fisk University’s planned sale of a signature Georgia O’Keeffe, “Radiator Building—Night, New York,” that was bequeathed to it by the artist.
