The global news agency AHN reports on a very remarkable online art sale. The Dutch national collection, along with five museums, are turning to eBay to auction off 1,000 paintings, statues and other items no longer wanted. However, the online fire sale is drawing the ire of some artists. The Institute Collection Netherlands (ICN) says the auction, to be held until October is the first of such magnitude. The goal is to find a new home for artwork the museums say are “artistic merit and historic significance.”
