“Philippe de Montebello, former chief of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, testified yesterday that late philanthropist Brooke Astor promised to give the museum a painting by American Impressionist Childe Hassam.” De Montebello was testifying “as a prosecution witness in the trial of Astor’s son Anthony Marshall,” who “told his mother that she was running out of money to get her to sell the Hassam work, according to the prosecution.”
