...bequest was considerable, but so is the acrimony it has since roused. In the past year, the Met has quietly sold or traded off 50 of the 211 paintings Adelaide de Groot willed to the museum on her death in 1967, including works by Rousseau, Modigliani, Picasso, Gris and Bonnard.

The crime rate won't permit it," says Jane Norris, proprietress of Manhattan's Sculpture to Wear, which features the work of such masters as Calder, Picasso, Jean Arp and Man Ray as well as younger artists in its expensive ($50 to $3,500) collection.
