The Orlando Museum of Art and the estate of its former director have reached an agreement to drop lawsuits against each other following the 2022 FBI seizure of two dozen forged paintings falsely attributed to artist Jean-Michel Basquiat.
The museum announced on Tuesday that the dismissal of the lawsuits marks the end of all legal disputes between the museum and the estate of its late director. The museum had accused the former director of failing to fulfill his fiduciary duty by promoting the exhibit, while he contended that his termination was unjust.
