Controversial Ringling Art Works Repose in Basement
Five paintings moved from the Tallahassee mansion wall by Governor LeRoy Collins now rest in the Ringling Museum basement after court action. Museum director Kenneth Donahue says they were brought back only on the governor’s orders, and the museum will not seek return of loaned works until a Circuit Court ruling.
