Qataris v Gagosian Enters Discovery Phase

April 7, 2016 by Marion Maneker

The judge in the case of the Qataris versus Gagosian Gallery over the sale of a Picasso bust to Leon Black has been waived through to the discovery phase, according to Bloomberg:

Pelham can question Maya and her son regarding discussions they had with family members about the sculpture’s sale.

Pelham can also question art dealer and adviser Pissarro, who was involved in negotiations with Maya and Olivier over the sale, about any discussions he had with them in 2014. The judge said Pelham can ask Pissarro whether Maya gave any special instructions including “not to involve Diana in the sale of the sculpture in 2014,” to sell it only for exhibition in a museum and to prevent it from being used to create any new casts of the work.
