Mislaid Calder Banners, Feared Ruined, Go On Display (Philadelphia, US)

But from a cluster of nondescript plastic tubs stuck in an out-of-the-way storage room in the bowels of a Center City office tower, they were ferreted out at last, still bright and essentially unmarred. And now, for the first time since the mid-1980s, the vanished Alexander Calder banners - part of one of the greatest public art legacies in Philadelphia history - will be on public view until March at the Central Branch of the Free Library on Logan Square.

Grand Jury Considers Charges Against Dealer Salander (New York, US)
Hundreds of creditors have filed claims in U.S. bankruptcy court, including Lawrence Salander's ex-wife, artists and their relatives who did business with him, gallery employees, business partners, lenders such as Bank of America and clients. Several allege that Salander sold their art without their knowledge or permission and didn't remit proceeds. Others say in court papers that he defaulted on loans and other obligations.
