Tennessee's Attorney General Requests Georgia O'Keeffe Collection be Removed from Fisk University

A sudden and unexpected shift in the ongoing struggle between Fisk University and its Stieglitz Collection of more than 100 paintings by Georgia O’Keeffe. Although the school had managed to fend off the artist’s foundation when it announced that it was considering selling the collection to help pay its bills and lessen the costs associated with caring for the pieces, a judge stopped them in late-August from trying to strike up a deal with another museum wherein they’d sell a 50% stake in the paintings.
