I'm looking in the exhibit guide I got at the Kimbell and it says that the
Kimbell was granted approval to hold the exhibit on February 2, 1994.  The
original tour was granted approval from a Pennsylvania PROBATE judge in
July of 1992.  Barnes' will had stipulated that the paintings could not be
loaned out to other institutions.  Richard Glanton is the Philadelphia
lawyer and president of the Barnes Foundation who challenged Barnes' will
and argued in favor of touring in order to raise money to renovate the
foundation's galleries.  No doubt the transcripts of the court hearing
would be interesting and provide many more details.  I don't know if this
is any help, but good luck to you.
