Art Gallery Sued for 65 million

An artist renowned worldwide who is also a Harvard educated lawyer is about to become a toxic problem for the Hayward Gallery in London. Iqbal Geoffrey, the Anglo-Pakistani painter whose works are admired by, among others, the director of the Tate, Sir Nicholas Serota, has launched a 65 million pound claim against the Hayward. Geoffrey says the gallery lost or damaged 300 of his works. He claims that its alleged failure to protect his work, or offer a suitable apology, is typical of the way the British art establishment treats foreign artists and is seeking to sue under the Human Rights Act on the grounds that he has been racially discriminated against.
