Modigliani: another dispute over a painting long considered as a masterpiece

The New York court however stated that it was not in a position to deliver a decision and Moshe Shaltiel-Gracian then chose to seize a Paris court after accusing the Wildenstein Institute of having blocked sale of a Modigliani painting he possessed.

Now, in order to cover itself, the Wildenstein Institute has turned against the art historian to obtain a warranty from him. It has notably stated that it could not be held responsible for Restellini's opinions and that it only put at his disposal its offices, its 400,000 volume library and two assistants as well as the right to use its address and name in his correspondence.

In June 2 000, Daniel Wildenstein had told “Le Figaro” in an interview that he trusted much Restellini as he regarded him as the best specialist regarding Modigliani's work. Still, after his death he was succeeded by his two sons who seem to have adopted another stand vis-à-vis the art historian.

One should note that in the February 1965 issue of the “Gazette des Beaux-Arts”, a magazine owned by Wildenstein, the portrait of a dark-haired young woman by Modigliani, which had been acquired the previous year by the Cincinnati Museum, was described as one of the artist's masterpieces.

All the more, the present dispute follows a series of legal actions already carried out by some angry collectors who challenged Restellini's refusal to include the works they possessed in his Modigliani catalogue raisonné whereas they had been listed as genuine in other catalogues published by his predecessors.
