Art Held Hostage by John Anderson
Not only was Dr. Albert Barnes a discerning collector of Impressionist art, he was a noted eccentric. So upon his death his entire collection fell under the carefully-worded conscription of his estate, which prohibited touring, security upgrades, and even barred access by art insiders. The efforts to break the will and modernize this collection, estimated in value at $6 billion, serves as the backdrop to the fall of Richard Glanton, then director of the Barnes Foundation, and his clash with Lincoln University president Niara Sudarkasa, whose school took over trust of the collection on Barnes` death. Anderson provides all the grizzly details of this bitter feud and its lasting financial implications for one of America`s most unusual and treasured art collections.
