- THE WEEK, Page 28SOCIETYOn Tour At Last?
-
-
- One of the world's most stunning and least seen collections
- of Impressionist and Postimpressionist art, 1,100 works by such
- masters as Cezanne, Seurat and Picasso (whose Jester and Young
- Harlequin is at left), was long confined to the Barnes
- Foundation building in a Philadelphia suburb, under the terms
- of Dr. Albert Barnes' will. But 70 pieces will soon be permitted
- a one-time international tour, according to a ruling issued last
- week by a Pennsylvania court that settled part of a bitter
- factional dispute within the foundation. The show will travel
- to the National Gallery of Art in Washington and possibly to
- other museums in France, Japan and the U.S., to help raise $7
- million for repairs and modernization at the gallery back home.
