The Newport Harbor Art Museum is selling a large (11 by 9 feet) painting of a palm tree by East Coast artist Jim Dine, valued at $70,000 to $100,000. The museum is selling the work because it already has a better example of Dine’s work than the atypical “Palm Tree” (which was commissioned for the Newporter Resort and given to the museum when the hotel changed hands), according to museum director Kevin Consey. Proceeds from the sale can be used to buy one or more works that are better suited to the collection, Consey said. See story by Suzanne Muchnic on Page 1 of this section.
