Fisk Fiasco Could Have Positive Impact

Fisk University “tried to break up and sell part of the Alfred Stieglitz Collection of modern art, given to the university by Stieglitz’s widow, renowned painter Georgia O’Keeffe,” but a judge ruled that O’Keefe’s rules prohibited such a transaction. Now, some are hoping that the ruling might actually bring Fisk together with Nashville’s wealthy elite to put the school on firmer fiscal footing, without selling a bunch of art.
