12017-04-02T10:24:08-07:00Inconsistent with collecting policy4plain2017-05-03T18:34:34-07:00When the SCMA deaccessioned nearly 100 American paintings in the 1940s, there was no official connection between the disposal of those artworks and the museum's collecting policy. However, the sale did reflect a change in the museum's interests, as it had begun to collect modern European art much more.
