Philadelphia's Rosenbach De-Accessions 13 Paintings

January 20, 2011 by Marion Maneker

Another local Philadelphia Museum is selling minor works:

The Rosenbach Museum and Library has decided to dispose of 13 paintings by the British painter Walter Greaves, a friend of James McNeill Whistler’s, according to Derick Dreher, the museum’s director. The Rosenbach will sell 12 through Christie’s auction house in New York starting next month, and is in talks to place the remaining painting, a portrait of Whistler, with a local museum. Money from the sales will go into the Rosenbach’s acquisitions fund, Dreher said.
