Page "Hazel R. O'Leary" Paragraph 10

O ' Leary has been considering a proposal from a museum in Arkansas to purchase a half-share in the Alfred Stieglitz Collection, which would raise money for the university and enable the collection to be more widely viewed.

It was bequeathed to Fisk by his widow and fellow artist Georgia O ' Keeffe on the condition that it never be sold.

Fisk appealed to the Chancery Court to be released from the condition prohibiting sale.

The court directed the State Attorney General to develop an alternative plan to keep the collection in Nashville and the state.

In September 2010 Attorney General Bob D. Cooper proposed the collection would be transferred to the Tennessee Arts Commission and housed at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts in Nashville.

It would be identified as the " Alfred Stieglitz Collection at Fisk University ".

The proposal is a joint state, city and museum project.
