Lincoln University May Fight for Control of Valuable Art, Judge Says
PHILADELPHIA
A judge ruled last month that Lincoln University, a historically Black college outside Philadelphia, may fight a court petition that would dilute its control over a valuable, world-renowned collection of art.
Lincoln opposes a petition by The Barnes Foundation that would eliminate Lincoln’s long-standing majority on the foundation’s board of trustees. The petition also would move the Barnes’ collection of Cezannes, Picassos, Renoirs and van Goghs from a Philadelphia suburb to the city.
