French Court Rules That Lawsuit Between Monet Heirs and Wildenstein & Co. Gallery Can Proceed

A French court ruled that a lawsuit filed by Claude Monet's heirs against Wildenstein & Co. can proceed in Rouen, Normandy. The case stems from a 2004 transaction in which Monet's great-nephew traded the rare painting *Adolphe Monet Reading in a Garden* (1867) to the gallery in exchange for five lesser works, including a damaged Monet landscape *Marine, Amsterdam* (1874). The family claims the gallery concealed the damage, which was discovered when they tried to sell the painting in 2019. Wildenstein & Co. had argued the case should be heard in New York, but the court deemed the plaintiffs general consumers based in Normandy.

Alan Saret, whose wire sculpture took from minimalism, 1944–2026,

Alan Saret, the American artist renowned for his pioneering wire sculptures that offered a fluid counterpoint to rigid minimalism, has died at age 82. Saret began working with chicken wire in the 1960s, twisting and interlacing it into cascading, flexible forms. His breakthrough came in 1966 after studying architecture at Cornell University and under Robert Morris at Hunter College. He debuted solo at Bykert Gallery in 1968 and was included in landmark group shows such as 'Nine in a Warehouse' at Leo Castelli Gallery and 'Live in Your Head: When Attitudes Become Form' at Kunsthalle Bern. A spiritual sojourn in India from 1971 to 1974 deepened his practice, leading to vast organic wire works.
