Corcoran receives $25M Monet from reclusive heiress…

23 Jun

Huguette M. Clark, the reclusive heiress who died last month in New York, has left a painting from Claude Monet’s “Water Lilies” series to the Corcoran Gallery of Art.

Last line of this article: “Huguette Clark, whose estate was valued at nearly $400million, had no known survivors.” As someone who is descended from a family of Clarks I would LOVE to help them locate a blood heir to that fortune. Congrats to the Corcoran Gallery of Art and College of Art + Design for the Water Lilies.
