Mess over Marlene Dumas moves ahead

A hearing for the injunction took place in Manhattan on Tuesday in a lawsuit allegedly waged over an artist's blacklist.
South Beach developer and collector Craig Robins sued dealer David Zwirner for $8 million on March 29. Robins claims that Zwirner breached a contract, telling artist Marlene Dumas that the collector quietly sold her work, and got him landed on the artist's blacklist and unable to buy her newest pieces.
Former Dumas dealer Jack Tilton, subpoenaed by Robins' team, maintains there are multiple Dumas blacklists. The judge is set to rule on the matter shortly.
