Rose Art Museum
You may remember this from before: in 2009 Brandeis University in Waltham, MA had decided to close the Rose Art Museum [S|C|P Link and LA Times] and auction off the 6,000 works in its collection.
In a turn of events, i.e. settling [...]its legal dispute with a group of prominent museum supporters, including Meryl Rose, Jonathan Lee, Lois Foster and Gerald Fineberg, [...]who had been seeking to protect the collection from a full or partial sale.[...]
They have gone so far as to say that [...] the Rose will remain “open to the public and that Brandeis has no plan to sell artwork. [...]
The museum’s collection, valued at more than $300 million, includes works by Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Willem de Kooning, Roy Lichtenstein and Robert Rauschenberg.
