Two high-profile artists have resigned from the board of the Baltimore Museum of Art ahead of a Sotheby’s sale of paintings from the institution’s collection.
Artists Adam Pendleton and Amy Sherald have departed the BMA’s board as the institution continues to face pushback over the deaccessioning of works by Andy Warhol, Clyfford Still, and Brice Marden. Critic Tyler Green reported news of the resignations on Twitter on Friday.
A representative for Pace Gallery, which represents Pendleton, confirmed that the artist had resigned from the board but said that he declined to comment. A representative for Hauser & Wirth, the gallery that represents Sherald, said that Sherald was unavailable for comment.
