Art Owned by La Salle University Headed for Auction at Christie’s

La Salle University (PA), a private college in Philadelphia, is planning to auction dozens of works from its museum to raise millions of dollars for the university.  The school’s plan, as reported by the Philadelphia Inquirer, is to sell 46 works by artists like by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, Georges Rouault, Thomas Eakins and Henri Matisse. The art is expected to raise as much as $7 million, or more, which would be used to “to help fund teaching and learning initiatives in its new strategic plan,” according to the Inquirer.
