The Newark Museum of Art is sending Thomas Cole s The Arch of Nero (1846) to auction at Sotheby s, estimated at $500,000-$700,000.
Facing $6 million in revenue loss during the pandemic, the temporarily closed Newark Museum of Art will deaccession a number of collection artworks. Critics are particularly decrying the planned sale of âArch of Nero,â an 1846 painting by Thomas Cole scheduled for sale at Sotheby s on May 19 and estimated to bring $500,000 to $700,000.
The museum is sending to auction a total of 17 pieces, including works by Albert Bierstadt, Mary Cassatt, Burgoyne Diller, Thomas Eakins, Marsden Hartley, Childe Hassam, Thomas Moran, Georgia O Keeffe, Frederic Remington and Charles Sheeler.

An open letter signed by more than 50 art historians, curators and researchers was submitted today to the Newark Museum of Art protesting its plan to sell works from its collection, most prominently Thomas Cole’s 1846 painting
The Arch of Nero, organisers say.
The letter, addressed to Linda Harrison, director and chief executive of the museum, denounces the sales, known as deaccessioning, as a “senseless monetisation” of the art. Among the works being offered by the institution are examples by Albert Bierstadt, Mary Cassatt, Burgoyne Diller, Thomas Eakins, Marsden Hartley, Childe Hassam, Thomas Moran, Georgia O Keeffe, Frederic Remington and Charles Sheeler.
