“The collection will no longer be intact, and the museum and Fisk will have destroyed the very thing that Miss O’Keeffe sought to preserve with the no sale, intact condition — the unique creation of the collection with its separate identity and effect,” he wrote.
Cooper raised the possibility the museum could sell the O’Keeffe and, under the settlement, owe Fisk only half the amount by which the sale price exceeds the $7.5 million. The museum’s agreement to loan the painting to Fisk then would not apply to a new owner, he said.
Cohen called the idea that the museum would sell the painting “total nonsense” and added people of Tennessee always are welcome to come to Santa Fe to see it and other O’Keeffe works.
