The Orlando Museum of Art has taken legal action against its former director, Aaron De Groft, and five painting co-owners for their alleged involvement in a scheme to display and sell fake paintings by Jean-Michel Basquiat. The museum claims that De Groft conspired with the owners to increase the value of the fraudulent artworks and profit from their eventual sale, resulting in significant damages for the institution. The lawsuit seeks compensation for fraud, conspiracy, breach of fiduciary duty, and breach of contract. The court documents reveal emails and text messages linking De Groft to the planned sale of the paintings. The museum’s reputation has suffered as a result of the scandal, and the lawsuit aims to hold the defendants accountable for their actions.
