Cash-Poor Fisk U May Sell O’Keeffes If…

“The settlement requires Fisk, a storied but cash-poor historically black university, to seek a donation that would allow the school to keep one or both of the paintings, which have each been appraised for $8.5 million. The two paintings comprise over half of the estimated value of the entire Stieglitz Collection. If no donor steps forward within 30 days, the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum – which had sued Fisk to stop the sale – will buy ‘Radiator Building’ for $7 million. Fisk could then also sell the Hartley painting, perhaps through auction.”
