De-accession time in Delaware (ctd.)
May 7 2014
Picture: DAM
The Delaware Art Museum (DAM), which is a bit broke, has now announced the first of their planned de-accessions. It's Isabella and the Pot of Basil by William Holman Hunt, and the picture will be sold at Christie's next month. No estimate has been released yet. DAM, which has (or had) the most significant collection of pre-Raphaelite paintings outside the UK, needs to raise $30m.
