Bennington College to Sell Artwork to Fund New Scholarship Program

Bennington College (VT) will sell works of art from its collection to help kick off a new scholarship program.  The College will auction five pieces at Christie’s — including a large abstract work by the painter Helen Frankenthaler, a graduate of Bennington College.  College President Mariko Silver said the college hopes the sale encourages donors to contribute their artwork to support the new scholarship program, Art for Access.
