Stolen Soulages Painting Lawsuit | Real Estate News
Description
A high-stakes art heist lawsuit unfolds as the Zeckendorf family sues the Weis Markets heirs, claiming they unknowingly sold a $5 million stolen abstract painting by Pierre Soulages. The artwork, allegedly stolen from Marion Zeckendorf in 1977, was reportedly acquired by the Weis family in 1984 — but Zeckendorf lawyers say the invoice is a forgery, pointing to mismatched stationery. The Zeckendorfs, heirs to a real estate empire behind luxury towers in Manhattan, aren’t seeking the painting back — just the proceeds from its sale. The defendants, including Weis Markets CEO Jonathan Weis, stand to lose millions if the claim holds, as the family’s grocery empire is worth $2 billion.
