The Dallas-based auction house Heritage Auctions sold contents from the studio of graffiti artist RETNA, valued at millions. RETNA, however, contends that these items were stolen by his former landlord after a rent dispute. In his lawsuit, he alleges that the auctioned pieces include unfinished art, misattributed works, and personal belongings that encapsulate his creative process. Despite past significant sales, RETNA criticizes the sale as detrimental to his legacy, emphasizing that some items lack authenticity.
This isn't just the mishandling of an artist's career - it's the desecration of his legacy, according to RETNA's art dealer.
RETNA claims that much of the auctioned material was either unfinished works or misattributed to him, undermining his artistic integrity.
