When I asked the Art Institute about the deaccessions, spokeswoman Erin Hogan replied that the museum did not put out releases about deaccessions and added:
The works at Christie's have been considered for deaccession for some time based on ongoing collection review. We felt that we have more illustrative examples of the works of these artists from these same periods. For example, we had two works by Braque from 1938 and several works from Matisse's early Nice period (the period of The Green Sash). Braque, Picasso, and Matisse are already well represented in the collection.
