UPDATE: Albright-Knox sales get thumbs up from State Supreme Court.
State Supreme Court Justice Diane Y. Devlin heard two hours of arguments in the Albright-Knox Gallery deaccession controversy today and will issue a decision tomorrow, the Buffalo News reported.
Lawyers for the museum and Sotheby’s were pitted against Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Carl Dennis and his Buffalo Art Keepers. The disposals are slated to begin on Tuesday, at Sotheby’s Chinese art sale. More works are due to be on the block at Friday’s Indian and Southeast Asian art sale, with the remainder of the 207 objects offered at four more sales in May and June.
