The Getty Museum in LA gave London’s Courtauld Institute $10 million towards its endowment. Then the Getty “asked the institute to lend it some of its world-class collection of old masters, Impressionist and post-Impressionist paintings and sculptures.” Some of the paintings are covered by a bequest that prohibits lending them outside of London, so the Courtauld applied to change the bequest. “The request has upset many leaders of the London art world.” Some charghe that “the Courtauld was accepting cash for paintings. ‘There has to be a connection between the two things’.”
