Two of the three Eakins paintings -- or, as I like to think of them, works which, having fallen under the aegis of a museum, were held in the public trust, to be accessible to present and future generations -- the Hirshhorn recently announced it was deaccessioning were sold at Christie's this week and therefore will not be accessible to present and future generations.
UPDATE: More Eakinses leaking out of the public trust.
