The art world is up in arms, from collectors to curators – donors to docents — about a host of major museums selling works by some of America’s best-loved artists.
This is Edward Hopper’s major oil, “Cobb’s Barns, South Truro,” which was painted in 1931 and is expected to fetch between $8 million and $12 million.
Edward Hopper pictured with his wife, Josephine, in 1937. Mrs. Hopper donated 3,000 pieces of work to the Whitney in 1968, including the pieces set to be auctioned off this week.Deaccessioning continued in the 1980s and 1990s; in 1989, for instance, the Museum of Modern Art garnered $13.6 million through the sale of works including a Pablo Picasso piece.
“It was determined that the works were duplicative within the collection,” said the Whitney to The Post in a statement about the forthcoming auction. In addition, many museum collections are still dominated by works from mostly white, male, and dead artists.
