Barnes Foundation - Level 4 & 5

Here is a link to watch the documentary Art of the Steal, which talks about the story of the Barnes Foundation. If you have any questions about vocabulary, because I can't find a subtitled version, don't hesitate to ask.

For those of you who may have missed class, you can find the summary of the Art of the Steal on wikipedia to be a helpful resource to the basic topics we covered. Both the documentary and the wikipedia are biased on the topic, as it is a highly debated topic. For a more thorough history on the foundation, you can look at the wikipedia page on the Barnes Foundation. There you will also see images of the painting that are in question. You can also visit the website for the new location, in Philadelphia on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway (the museum corridor). The new location will be opening with a black-tie gala event in May 2012 for privileged members.
