The man behind an Orlando auction last year of artwork from such masters as Renoir faces penalties at a hearing today in front of the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.
Azam Khan could be fined or have his auctioneer’s license suspended — not based on complaints in Florida but because of legal troubles in Virginia, where records show he is based.
Virginia fined Khan $3,000 in 2002 and suspended his auctioneer’s license for one year after officials said he ran deceptive ads about an estate auction in 1997 and failed to keep sales records as required by the state.
