This fascinating documentary chronicles the long and dramatic struggle for control of the Barnes Foundation, a private collection of Post-Impressionist and early Modern art valued at more than $25 billion. After the cultural elite scorned his collection as “horrible,” Dr. Barnes left control of the collection to a small African-American college with a strict proviso that the Foundation should remain an educational institution and the paintings must not be removed. But times and tastes change, and now the very people who belittled Barnes want access to the collection.
