When she donated the works, she relinquished all copyright, and the works moved into public domain. These images are for all intensive purposes not owned by anyone, and anyone can do what they see fit with them.
(this is where the Getty lawsuit should have focused, as they don't have the right to make claims to the images either, unless the work she published was copied from getty's servers which have lisc restrictions on them [which is a loophole that should be closed])
its unfortunate for the artist, but as others have said, she gave up all rights to the works by placing them in the public domain.
You can see the documentation stating she gave those rights up on the LOCs website (https://www.loc.gov/rr/print/res/482_high.html https://www.loc.gov/rr/print/res/482_high.html)
