A Detroit museum displaying a 1888 painting by Vincent van Gogh said it shouldn't be pulled into a dispute over ownership of the multimillion-dollar artwork.
who claims to be the owner of the painting, titled “The Novel Reader.” The museum responded in court Monday, less than a week before the rare U.S. exhibition ends.
A lawsuit claims Brokerarte Capital Partners LLC and its sole proprietor, Gustavo Soter of Brazil, acquired the painting in 2017 for $3.7 million but that a “third party” took possession of the art, which has been missing for nearly six years. The Detroit museum is not accused of wrongdoing. It has not publicly disclosed the identity of the collector who lent the painting for the van Gogh exhibition, saying only that the oil-on-canvas painting came from a collection in Sao Paulo, Brazil.In addition, the museum said it’s protected by a federal law that bars judges from seizing art imported for temporary display.
