Fisk University appeals O'Keeffe artwork ruling PDF Print E-mail

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A court order has forced Fisk University to reopen the gallery displaying a collection donated by artist Georgia O'Keeffe, but the school isn't giving up its legal fight for the right to sell the artworks.

The state Court of Appeals is schedule to hear arguments this week over last year's ruling that Fisk can't sell any of the donated artwork - and that it would lose the entire collection if it wasn't retrieved from storage and put back on display.

The gallery on Fisk's Nashville campus reopened to little fanfare in October after nearly three years out of the public eye.

O'Keeffe donated the collection, including her own 1927 oil painting Radiator Building - Night, New York, to the historically black university in 1949, a time when segregation prevented Southern blacks from visiting many museums.
