Motions Filed To Block Randolph Art Sale

“A group of students, alumnae, art donors and former employees filed motions in Lynchburg Circuit Court on Tuesday seeking to keep financially ailing Randolph College from selling four paintings from its museum collection next month. The paintings are scheduled to be sold through Christie’s auction house. College officials estimate they will receive at least $32 million, which will go into the college’s endowment.” The art world has been aflame over the plan ever since it was announced.
