And shame on Judge Ott, who could have put a hault to the breaking of The Barnes Trust. With a stroke of his pen he could have stopped this art robbery but, most likely, got bought off and did what the power elite wanted him to do. Barnes wanted his collection to be for education and for the common person, not just the rich Philidelphia powerbrokers who he disdained. His trust forbades the moving of his painting, Judge Ott, take your 30 pieces of silver crook!
I couldn't agree with you more my friend! What they are doing with the Barnes Foundation is like destroying Fenway Park ... & building a carbon copy park across the street, making more seats & calling it Fenway Park pretending that it's still the same place. The hell with history, the hell with the soul & spirit of a scared place. This is an ABSOLUTE CRIME ... the worst part not enough people give a shit to take a stand!

@gjz215 Agreed! Keep the Barnes Foundation where and how Dr. Barnes wanted it.

Barnes owned it. He wanted it there. He is turning over in his grave with this move...it's exactly what he did not want to happen.
