The splashiest case to come before the panel in recent years
involved the estate of blue - chip
art dealer Ileana Sonnabend, whose résumé included shows by such cornerstone figures
as pop prince Andy Warhol, minimalist mage Donald Judd, performance pioneer Vito Acconci and globally diversified corporate entity Koons.
Jose Carlos Bergantinos Diaz, a Spanish
art dealer has been arrested
as part of the widening search for suspects
involved in the Knoedler & Company
art swindle.
He has handled virtually every kind of case, many
involving sophisticated issues and sizeable amounts at stake, representing all kinds of parties such
as entrepreneurs, developers, traders, physicians, partners, shareholders, officers and directors, corporations and banks, partnerships, LLC's, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, construction companies, software companies, accountants, law firms,
art dealers, private utilities, and even pro-bono the community surrounding Wrigley Field.
