MoMA: Swapping Picassos For Hirsts?

The Museum of Modern Art is selling nine paintings and could raise $27 million from the sale. At the same time, “a London source close to the contemporary art market told The Art Newspaper that the museum is considering the purchase of the 13 Damien Hirsts now on show at Tate Britain in the exhibition “In-a-Gadda-da-Vida” (until 31 May). Could MoMA be trading its Picassos, Légers, and Pollocks for a flock of butterfly paintings and vitrines by Mr Hirst?”
