Annie Leibovitz sued in NY for breach of contract

Published: July 31, 2009
A New York finance company that lent celebrity photographer Annie Leibovitz $24 million has filed a lawsuit charging that she reneged on the deal.
Manhattan-based Art Capital Group says Leibovitz borrowed the money last year because she was in dire financial straits due to unpaid bills, mortgage payments and tax liens.
The breach of contract lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Manhattan state Supreme Court, says that in return Leibovitz granted Art Capital the right to sell all of her photographs, plus her homes in Manhattan and upstate New York.
The lawsuit says Leibovitz and her associates are now trying to ignore their obligations.
A spokesman for Leibovitz denies the allegations.
Matthew Hiltzik says the suit is part of Art Capital's "continued harassment."
