 Seattle Art Museum can't sue Matisse dealer, judge rules   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The Seattle Art Museum's effort to sue a New York gallery to recover the value of an Henri Matisse painting hit a Catch-22 wall of contradiction in U.S. District Court this week.
Judge Robert S. Lasnik agreed that the museum had presented enough evidence of fraud on the part of New York's Knoedler Gallery to bring the case to trial, but he said the museum had failed to prove it was the party defrauded.
Because art museum collections are built largely from donated works, Lasnik's ruling raises the question of whether museums have any ownership rights to donated material.
