Paris court finds Sotheby’s France at fault in Mübin Orhon sale
A Paris court found that Sotheby’s France had failed to make adequate provenance checks before selling a painting by Mübin Orhon in 2015. The artist’s daughter had previously reported missing paintings, and the work bore a dedication to her on the reverse. The judgment addressed the loss of a chance to recover the painting.
