Peggy Guggenheim donated a prized Jackson Pollock painting to the University of Iowa in 1951. That painting was the subject of debate recently after legislators wanted the university to sell it and use the proceeds to fund art scholarships. That has died down since the sponsor of the bill said the legislature probably won't reach a consensus this year. The university's museum director told the Cedar Rapids Gazette that the painting could be the centerpiece of an exhibition of American art that would tour the world in 2013 and 2014.
