In a lawsuit filed earlier this month, dealer Adam Lindemann is facing allegations that he sued a 25-foot-tall Julian Schnabel sculpture on a Long Island estate without permission.

Filed on August 20 in New York’s Eastern District, the lawsuit was brought by the Nature Conservancy, a preserve in Montauk. Lindemann, the founder of New York’s now-defunct Venus Over Manhattan gallery, has a property next to the vast preserve.

Newsday, a publication focused on Long Island’s Nassau and Suffolk Counties, first broke news of the lawsuit on Thursday.
