collector sues sothebys modigliani authenticity 2719506

Collector Charles Cahn has filed a lawsuit against Sotheby’s in New York Supreme Court, alleging the auction house reneged on a buy-back agreement made in 2016 regarding a Modigliani portrait he purchased in 2003. Cahn paid $1.55 million for *Portrait de Leopold Zborowski* at a Sotheby’s Impressionist and modern sale, and later agreed to consign the work back to Sotheby’s if he sold it within 15 years, with the house guaranteeing the greater of the original price plus 2.5% annual compound interest or the future sale price, and waiving vendor fees. However, Cahn claims that in April 2016, Sotheby’s own appraisal questioned the painting’s authenticity, stating it failed certain criteria and would have no sale value in the international art market. Despite Cahn’s letters in June and September 2024, Sotheby’s has not responded, leading to the breach-of-contract claim seeking at least $2.7 million in damages.
