Salander O'Reilly Gallery Shut Down  Uptown's craziest scandal
has reached a major meltdown point! Upper East Side dealer
Lawrence Salander and his gallery Salander O'Reilly are getting
sued every which way but loose by angry clients and dealers and
lenders, and so a State Supreme Court judge has shut the shit-
blizzard down entirely. We can guarantee one thing: A number of
really rich people are gonna get shafted out of this, no matter
how much court supervision takes place. Carol Cohen, the widow
of the CEO of Madison Square Garden? She's never gonna see the
$3.4 million worth of art she "stored" at the gallery that
Salander allegedly started selling off behind her back. We
cannot believe Salander didn't take off for some country without
an extradition agreement with the U.S. (China maybe!) with a
bunch of cash a few months ago while he still could. What an
idiot!  Manhattan Art Gallery Is Shut as Lawsuits Multiply [NYT]
