"Court finds for artist who disowned work before auction"

In The Art Newspaper, Laura Gilbert reports that Marc Jancou's claim against Cady Noland has been dismissed.  His breach of contract claim against Sotheby's had been previously dismissed (see here) and, since the only claim against Noland was for tortious interference with the same contract, that claim was dismissed too.  Jancou's appeal of the Sotheby's decision is being argued in the Appellate Division June 6.
