 "The New York Times" has taken notice of important exhibitions at the museum, praising an "eminently worthwhile" David von Schlegell retrospective in 1968; calling a 1969 exhibit of sculpture by James Rosatti "an event of some importance"; and devoting a full-length article to a 1981 Helen Frankenthaler exhibition.In 1991, Brandeis announced a plan to sell fourteen works of art from the Rose, including three by Renoir, two by Daumier, two by Vuillard, and one by Toulouse-Lautrec.The announcement drew sharp criticism.
