My own suspicion would be they have been sold to the highest bidder, disappeared for the next auction, kept cause they glittered, or destroyed cause they were woke, liberal, or honest.

But other museums and private collections. There is a department in the White House that catalogues and curates the art.

I hope there's still some trustworthy people in that department.

It was reported and people wondered what was going on?
