An artist claims two men held hundreds of his paintings “hostage” so they could ultimately copy and reproduce them without his permission, a new suit alleges.
Prolific pop-artist Todd Goldman claims an ex-pal and a businessman conned him out of hundreds of his pieces — which they then copied and sold, diluting his brand, according to a new $55 million lawsuit.
When the first loan of $40,000 came due in 2017, Goldman couldn’t repay the money “and elected instead to allow Revivo to keep” the 2,500 “outdated” and signed lithographs he’d put up as collateral, the suit claims.Artist Todd Goldman is suing two men for $55 million claiming they defrauded him, holding hundreds of his paintings hostage and then copying and selling them.
Goldman is a pop-artist who has sold works to celebrities including, Paul McCartney, Rihanna, Leonardo DiCaprio and others.Revivo, however, allegedly changed the terms of the loan — telling Goldman he’d need to pay more to have the artworks returned, according to the suit. The cheap reproductions were offered up for “for fire sale prices” — without the artist’s permission — saturating the market and leaving Goldman with almost no more business opportunities, while his brand became destroyed and “watered down,” according to the suit.
