Berkshire Museum selling nine more art works
The Berkshire Museum announced Monday that it would be selling nine more art works as part of its agreement with the office of the state attorney general to raise $55 million toward funding the Pittsfield institution. The museum has so far raised some $42 million, selling 13 art works. The best-known, Norman Rockwell’s “Shuffleton’s Barbershop,’’ went for an undisclosed sum to the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art last spring. The new works include pieces by several American artists, including the sculptor Alexander Calder and painters Charles Wilson Peale, Albert Bierstadt, and Thomas Moran, as well as a Qing Dynasty screen and Qing Dynasty panel.
