Fisk Trial Ends With All Parties Set to Appeal Outcome

by Reginald Stuart , February 22, 2008

Categories:

Appeal of Judge Lyle's ruling on the whole case, including the order barring Fisk from selling, would most certainly cost Fisk and the O'Keeffe museum several more years in court, not to mention added legal costs. Currently, local legal experts estimate Fisk and the O'Keeffe museum have each incurred in excess of half a million dollars in costs for legal services.

"We believe strongly in our case," said Fisk spokesman, Ken West, when asked why Fisk would appeal, if it were ordered to surrender the collection or honor the original conditions of the gift.

"We have no interest in harming Fisk," said Saul Cohen, the Santa Fe lawyer who is president of the O'Keeffe Museum and attended most of the trial, seated by his battery of lawyers. "It's not an intention or goal of ours. We don't think (our claim) should (harm Fisk). We think Fisk can raise money in other ways."
