LinkLinks Washington Post: A museum canceled its Robert Mapplethorpe show — and decades later, it’s finally trying to make amends By Editor On Jun 12, 2019 Last updated Jun 12, 2019 40 Share When the Corcoran Gallery of Art’s board of trustees met on June 12, 1989, the first order of business was a 1770 painting by John Singleton Copley. Its condition was fine, its cost was appropriate ($1.6 million) and its acquisition would fill a hole in the museum’s collection, according to the meeting minutes. Resolved: The portrait of a Boston distillery owner would come to the Corcoran. 40 Share FacebookTwitterReddItWhatsAppEmailPrint
