Green has filed a High Court lawsuit against Richard The Klesch Collection (Fine Paintings) of Mayfair, accusing the dealer of failing to disclose provenance information on two paintings. American art buyer Gary Klesch and his wife Anita Klesch bought two paintings from The Klesch Collection for €3m ($3.4m) and €2m each, but later discovered they sold at auction for €1.5m and €882,500 in 2017. Klesch is seeking either damages or for the sale to be cancelled. Law firm Schillings, acting on behalf of The Klesch Collection, said the claim has no merit.
