Wildenstein lawsuit nixed - Artworld - Brief Article
Art in America, Dec, 2003 by Raphael Rubinstein
The lawsuit brought in Paris against writer Hector Feliciano by the Wildenstein family of art dealers has finally come to a close. In early October, the French Supreme Court rejected the Wildensteins' claim for $1 million in damages from Feliciano who, in his book The Lost Museum (published in France in 1995 and in the U.S. in 1997), chronicled business dealings between the family's Paris gallery and Nazi art dealer Karl Haberstock.
Prior to the Supreme Court's dismissal of the claim, the Wildensteins had lost two rounds in lower courts [see "Front Page," July '00]. Although these earlier decisions avoided ruling on the veracity of Feliciano's charges, they lauded him as a responsible historian. The recent decision rejected the Wildensteins' claim on the grounds that it was filed too long after the book's publication and ordered the family to pay Feliciano $2,800 in damages.
