| This is Corice Arman featured in Art + Auction magazine |
A simple photo shoot may end up costing Louise Blouin Media, publisher of Art & Auction and Modern Painters $300k if a judge rules in collector Corice Arman's favor.
The incident happened on May 12 of last year, when Art+Auction magazine was working on a spread of Corice Arman's massive art collection inside her Tribeca home. One of Arman's prized possessions - and one of the subjects of the shoot - was an "ancient, terracotta figurine from Nigeria known as a Nok figure," which is estimated to date back to the year 618 B.C., Arman says in court papers.[NYP]"During the course of photographing the Nok figure, the photographers moved the Nok figure from its location to another location on the opposite side of the room" without Arman's permission, she says in a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit.
