Description
On 15 January 2010 another federal lawsuit was filed in New York City against the Andy Warhol Art Authentication Board. The first lawsuit was filed in 2007 by a London-based collector, Joe Simon; the recent claimant is a New Jersey-based collector, Susan Shaer: each owns one of a limited edition of a dozen Andy Warhol Self-Portrait silkscreens made in 1964-65. Simon is aggrieved that the Board denied authentication of the work he owns and he asserts that it is an authentic Warhol. Shaer's grievance is broader and more fundamental: she challenges the lawfulness and validity of the Board's entire standing and operations, in particular claiming that the Board's frequent denials of Warhol's authorship of works creates 'artificial scarcity' and so inflates the market value of the Andy Warhol Foundation's collection. Shaer's claims are unprecedented in the art market. Her lawyers are drawing upon generic--not specifically art--business laws aimed at safeguarding the freedom of the capitalist marketplace: in the US such laws are called 'antitrust and unjust enrichment', and in Europe 'competition', legislation. A significant feature of the case is Shaer's allegation that the Board is unlawfully conspiring and colluding with other key players to control the marketplace for Warhol's works: the Andy Warhol Foundation, the Estate of Andy Warhol and Vincent Fremont, who is the current executor and exclusive sales agent for the Foundation--all of whom have been cited as co-defendants.
