The New York Post has a report on a lawsuit filed against artist Peter Max that includes the following:
"[The plaintiffs] also helped sell Max's famous 'Statue of Liberty' painting to a collector for $500,000 -- but when she learned the artist had not 'painted in year's she was infuriated . . . . [One of the plaintiffs] learn[ed] from [Max's representative] that Max has a team of 'ghost-painters' who work near his W. 65th Street studio, the suit says. Max merely signs 'his name on the artwork when it's completed,' the court papers allege."
It's a scandal!
