New York gallery sues for return of stolen Warhol
Published February 5th, 2008
An Andy Warhol painting stolen from a Manhattan art gallery a decade ago has resurfaced at Christie’s auction house, and on Tuesday the gallery sued to have it returned.
The painting, one of Warhol’s Dollar Sign portraits that was created in 1981, is worth at least $100,000, according to the lawsuit, which was filed in New York State Court. Another Warhol Dollar Sign sold for $4.5 million at a Christie’s auction in 2006.
