March 31, 2014 by Marion Maneker

Master of the Plump Cheeked Madonna, Virgin with Child (400-600k USD) 941k USD

The New York Post does a little heavy breathing over the Met’s deaccessioning:

The museum sold off 3,290 objects worth a total of $5.4 million last year, generating the highest revenue in eight years. The selling spree continues with at least $3 million worth of paintings auctioned off this year alone.
