In the ’20s, Dr Albert C. Barnes began collecting art that no one else wanted, amassing one of the world’s largest collections of early modernist painters, including Renoir, Cezanne, Monet, Gauguin, Picasso, and Matisse.
At Barnes’ death in 1951, he placed restrictions in his will to limit access to the collection, sparking a decades-long legal battle, one of art history’s most fascinating stories.
While reviewing fabulous art – viewable today at the Barnes Foundation museum in Philadelphia – we will delve into the reasons behind this infamous court case, which still has folks upset today.
