Barnes Could Raise Money By Sale Of Art …

The Barnes Foundation could raise $50 million by selling off some of its art. Though some of the artworld establishment would frown on the idea, selling some assets might allow the Barnes to stay where it is without moving to Philadelphia. The judge hearing a motion to relocate said last week: “If it appears that adequate capital can be produced [through a sale], the ethical problems presented thereby may have to yield to the donor’s expressed wishes.”
