NEW YORK (AP) — In a June 21 story about the death of artist LeRoy Neiman, The Associated Press incorrectly reported the amount of money Neiman had donated to his alma mater and gave an incorrect name for the school. Neiman gave $9 million to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, not $3 million to the Art Institute of Chicago.
