David Rubenstein, the former chairman of the Kennedy Center who was removed from that position by President Trump, purchased the "Blue" sculpture that had been taken down from the center's grounds last week.
Both outlets report the same core facts about the purchase and the prior removal of Rubenstein from his board position, but the center outlet (The Hill) provides more detail on the circumstances of his removal, describing it as being 'fired by Trump' alongside other board members who were 'replaced,' while the left outlet (The New York Times) focuses more on the transaction itself, noting the sculpture was bought from the artist's foundation and will be displayed at the National Gallery of Art.
Frames the event primarily as an art transaction, noting Rubenstein's prior removal from the Kennedy Center chairmanship and his plan to display the sculpture at the National Gallery of Art.
