A New York Museum Is Selling Its Only Jackson Pollock Painting at Christie’s to Fund Acquisitions of Work by Women and Artists of Color


The Everson Museum, which focuses on American art, is the latest institution to resort to deaccessioning in an effort to diversify its collection. Last year, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art sold a Mark Rothko painting (which, coincidentally, also had a connection to Peggy Guggenheim) for $50 million to create a dedicated acquisition fund, while the Baltimore Museum of Art sold off seven works by white male artists to create a war chest for acquisitions of art by women and artists of color in 2018.
