For a decade, the heirs of Wang, who has a wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art named after him, have battled for control of his art trove.
This month, two of Wang's children filed separate lawsuits in New York state and federal courts with accusations against each other of deceit and looting. According to court papers, more than $60 million worth of art has gone missing from the estate. Among the lost works is an 11th-century scroll, "The Procession of Taoist Immortals," considered a national treasure in China. A judge has called for an inventory of the estate.
