“A day after successfully selling three significant artworks at Sotheby’s auction house in New York, officials from the Museum of Fine Arts said they didn’t anticipate any delay in closing the deal to buy a coveted Degas painting said to be worth as much as $40 million. But the museum wouldn’t offer details about how it will make up the difference between the $16,264,000 it earned at auction Tuesday night and the price of [the Degas] which has been part of a private collection in France. Experts said it was possible that the MFA would turn to a trustee or donor with a particular interest in Degas.”
