A federal appeals court has ordered a Detroit museum to hold onto an 1888 painting by Vincent van Gogh amid a Brazilian collector’s dispute with the museum over the painting. The Detroit News reports that Wednesday’s order from the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Cincinnati comes days after a federal judge in Detroit dismissed a lawsuit filed by collector Gustavo Soter’s art brokerage company. That suit claims Soter bought the painting of a woman with a book, titled “The Novel Reader,” in 2017 for $3.7 million, but that a “third party” took possession of the art, which has been missing for nearly six years. The oil-on-canvas painting was part of the Detroit Institute of Arts’ recent “Van Gogh in America” exhibition.

A lawyer for Eva Green alleges that producers of a collapsed film tried to damage the French actress’ reputation by depicting her as a “diva.” The performer played Vesper Lynd in James Bond thriller “Casino Royale.” She is suing producers for a $1 million fee she says she is owed for “A Patriot.” Green was lined up to star in the sci-fi thriller and was also an executive producer on the project that collapsed in late 2019. Production company White Lantern Film is fighting the claim and is countersuing. It says that Green made “unreasonable demands” and undermined the production. The case at the High Court in London is due to last eight days.
