After reading that story, seems to me the woman has a legit claim.
How so? Sotheby's estimated $30M and it sold for 90% of that. Why does the woman think it's worth more than three times Sotheby's estimate? And why didn't she insist on a higher minimum bid, say $90M, if she truly believed it was worth that much? Why open at 24 if you think it's worth 100?
It was consigned to Sotheby’s and placed in its contemporary art evening auction on May 16 with an estimate of about $30 million. Bidding opened at $24 million and elicited minimal interest
I mean, she can sue anyone for anything. I could probably sue her claiming $100M for mental distress after seeing an image of the painting in question.
