More Info on Fisk University's Continued Struggles with Its O'Keeffe Collection

Following up on our post Monday about a judge’s ruling that Fisk University can’t half-deaccession its large Georgia O’Keeffe collection by selling a stake in it to Arkansas’ Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, the Chronicle of Higher Education fills in a number of details about the case. From the university’s running deficit, which prompted them to start looking for buyers for the collection (they were to get $30 million had the deal gone through), to information that the original, now overruled plan involved leaving the collection at Fisk for at least part of the year, and the judge leaving it open that both the university and Crystal Bridges still might possibly be able to work about an agreeable deal, it’s a far more detailed look at the situation.
