    An astoundingly high proportion of museum pieces were collected by the museum as donations from people of wealth who sought to reduce their tax burdens, which makes me more suspicious rather than less. But I don’t know enough about Kafka’s executor or Goya’s intent to say whether anyone could be called greedy in either case, just a vaguely relevant thought from a middling movie.

      This painting was never sold separate from the house. They guy who took it off the wall donated it. So there’s no valuation to donate.
