Le Monde reports that Portugal has cleared the Miró sale stopped earlier this year. An earlier report claimed Portugal’s museums expressed no interest in acquiring the works:

The collection of 85 works by Spanish artist Joan Miro owned by the Portuguese state will ultimately not listed as a cultural heritage, paving the way for its sale, according to a decision released Friday, Aug. 29 in the Official Journal Portuguese.
