Berlin agreed Wednesday to build a new museum for 20th century masterpieces by artists including Rothko, Magritte and Dali donated by a wealthy couple, potentially resolving a years-long dispute.

The state museums foundation put forward a proposal for the cash-strapped city to create a 130-million-euro ($174 million) home for the collection directly behind the already overflowing New National Gallery at the Cultural Forum in central Berlin.

The works themselves belonging to millionaire collectors Ulla and Heiner Pietzsch, which also include art by Max Ernst, Andre Breton and Joan Miro, are valued at 150 million euros.
