I heard the story first on NPR this morning and here is the URL for that story, which is only audio. NPR deals with the various gift issues: the constraints are such that the Getty cannot sell any of this collection, even if the quality if not very good for some pieces.

I wish I had some visuals of some of the donated pieces.
