ANNEMERIE DONOGHUE,
AFFIRMATION OF ADAM H.
Plaintiff, RUSS IN SUPPORT OF
DEFENDANT CASTELLANOS’
-against- MOTION TO DISMISS
AMENDED VERIFIED
COMPLAINT
CHRISTIE’S INC. and HENRY CASTELLANOS,
Assigned Judge:
Defendants. Anil C. Singh, JSC
IAS Part 61
nenen enn, KX
ADAM EL. RUSS, an attorney duly admitted to practice law in the State of New York,
affirms the following under the penalty of perjury:
1 Tam a member of the law firm of Wasser & Russ, LLP, attorneys for defendant
Henry Castellanos and the stakeholder, Christies Inc. I make this affirmation based on my
personal knowledge, my involvement in this case, and the records maintained by my firm in the
ordinary course of business.
2. On or about October 20, 2011, Plaintiff filed this action, naming Christie’s as the
sole defendant, and asking that the Court: (i) enjoin Christie’s from auctioning the Warhol Prints;
(ii) declare Plaintiff the true owner of the Warhol Prints; and (iii) order Christie’s either to
deliver the Warhol Prints to Plaintiff or, if Christie’s was not in possession of the Warhol Prints,
pay Plaintiff the value of the Warhol Prints. The Court granted, at Plaintiff's request, a
temporary restraining order (“TRO”) enjoining the sale of the Warhol Prints pending a hearing
on Plaintiff's request for a preliminary injunction (“PI”) and required that Plaintiff post a
$200,000 bond no later than November 4, 2011. A true and correct copy of the Plaintiff's
Page 1 of 4
original Verified Complaint, as well as its Order to Show Cause seeking a TRO and PI and
Supporting Affidavits and Memorandum are attached hereto as Exhibit A.
3 On or about October 25, 2011, Plaintiff, Christie’s and Mr. Castellanos entered
into the Stipulation pursuant to which, among other things: (i) the TRO was vacated and
Plaintiff's motion for a PI was withdrawn; (ii) the parties authorized Christie’s to proceed with
the scheduled auction of the Warhol Prints; (iii) Plaintiff fully released Christie’s from any and
all claims relating to the Warhol Prints; (iv) Plaintiff convenanted to bring no action or
proceeding against Christie’s or any of its purchasers relating to the Warhol Prints: (v) Plaintiff
remained free to bring an action “against Catellano [sic] for the net proceeds from the sale of the
Warhol Prints”; and (vi) Christie’s agreed to retain the net proceeds from the sale of the Wathol
Prints ($220,607.50) as stakeholder for the benefit of Plaintiff or Mr. Castellanos, pending the
determination of their title dispute in this action. A true and correct copy of the Parties’ October
25, 2011 Stipulation is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
4. On or about November 9, 2011 Plaintiff filed her Supplemental Summons and
Amended Verified Complaint seeking judgment: (i) declaring that she is the owner of the Warhol
Prints and is entitled to have the net proceeds paid to her; (ii) declaring that Castellanos has no
ownership interest in the Warhol Prints; and (iii) directing Christie’s to pay the net sales proceeds
to Plaintiff. A true and correct copy of Plaintiff's Supplemental Summons and Amended
Verified Complaint are attached hereto as Exhibit C.
5 Attached as Exhibit D hereto is a true and correct copy of the California Business
and Professions Code, Division 8 (Special Business Regulations), Chapter 10 (California Self.
Service Storage Facility Act or “CSFA”), Secs, 21701 et seq.
Page 2 of 4
6. Section 21702 of the CSFA imposes a lien in favor of the owners of self-storage
facilities upon all personal property located at the facility, for rent, labor, late payment
fees, or
other charges incurred pursuant to rental agreements for the storage of property at the
facility, as
well as for expenses necessary for, among other things, the sale of the property to enforce
the
lien.
7. Section 21703 of the CSFA provides that the storage facility owner may terminate
the rights of an occupant (defined as one who stores personal property at the storage facility)
to
use or enter the storage space rented if any part of the rent or other charges due from the occupant
remain unpaid for 14 days. The owner terminates the occupant’s right to use or enter the
rented
space by mailing a preliminary notice to the occupant in the manner set forth by the statute,
setting forth the termination date (i,¢., a date at least 14 days after the date the notice was mailed,
when the occupant’s rights to use or enter the rented space will terminate if full payment of
the
amount due has not been received),
8 Section 21705 of the CSFA provides that if the notice has been sent as required by
Section 21703 and the amount due has not been paid within 14 days of the termination date
specified, the lien imposed by the statute attaches and the storage facility owner may, among
other things, send the occupant a ‘notice of lien sale’ stating, among other things, that (i) the
occupant’s stored property will be sold to satisfy the lien after a specified date, at least
14 days
from the date the notice of lien is mailed, unless the occupant executes and returns by certified
mail a declaration in opposition to the lien sale in the form prescribed by the statute,
and (ii) the
occupant may regain full use of the storage space by paying the full amount due prior
to the date
specified in accordance with (i), above.
Page 3 of4
9. Section 21706 of the CSFA provides that if a declaration in opposition,
conforming to all of the requirements of the statute, is not received by the owner
of the storage
facility from the occupant on or prior to the date specified in the notice of lien
sale, the owner
may sell the property in a commercially reasonable manner after advertising the
property’s sale in
conformity with the statute’s requirements, and may satisfy the lien in such fashion.
10. Most important, Section 2171 Lof the CSFA states in its entirety as follows
:
A purchaser in good faith of goods sold to enforce a lien or a judgment entered
on
the lien in favor of the owner [of the storage facility] on goods stored
at a self-
storage facility takes the goods free of any rights of persons against whom the
lien
was claimed, despite noncompliance by the owner of the storage facility
with the
requirements of this chapter.
il. Based upon this statute, it is evident that Mr. Dinael Rivas, who purchased the
Warhol Prints at an auction held by Extra Space Storage facility, in accordance with
the
provisions of the CSFA, passed true and good title to the Warhol Prints to Henry
Castellanos,
who purchased them from Mr. Rivas in late May or early June of 2011 for the sum of $1000.00,
12, No prior application for the relief requested herein has been made.
WHEREFORE, it is respectfully requested that the Court grant defendant Castellanos’
motion to dismiss this action in its entirety with prejudice and direct Christie’s, as
stakeholder, to
remit to Mr. Castellanos the proceeds from the sale of the Warhol Prints no later than
90 days
after the date of the Court’s order, in accordance with the Stipulation.

ANNEMERIE
CHRISTIE'S INC, DONOGHUE
Defendant.

STATE OF NEW YORK }
}ss.:
COUNTY OF NEW YORK )
ANNEMERIE DONOGHUE, being duly sworn, deposes and says:
1 Tam the plaintiff in this action. I submit this affidavit in support ofmy
motion fora court order prohibiting defendant Christie's Inc, (“Christie’s”) from removing
from the state, transferring, selling, pledging, assigning or otherwise disposing of four
prints by the internationally recognized artist Andy Warhol (“Warhol Prints”) which! own,
2 The Warhol Prints are a set based upon Sandro Botticelli’s “Birth of Venus.”
They are as follows:
{a) A Warhol print entitled “Details of Renaissance Paintings (Sandro Botticelli),”
signed in pencil by the artist and numbered “TP 10/36.” This indicates that this
piece was a trial proof.
(b) A Warhol print entitled “Details of Renaissance Paintings (Sandro
Botticelli),” signed in pencil by the artist and numbered “AP 3/18.” This
indicates that this piece was an artist's proof,
(c) A Warhol print entitled “Details of Renaissance Paintings (Sandro
Botticelli),” signed in pencil by the artistand numbered 30/70, This indicates
that this piece was number 30 of an edition of 70,
(d) A Warhol print entitled “Details of Renaissance Paintings (Sandro
Botticelli),” signed in pencil by the artist and numbered 30/70. This indicates
that this piece was number 36 of an edition of 70,
3 The Warhol Prints are unique because they (a) are original art works by an
internationally recognized artist, (b) are limited in number and (c) cannot be reproduced
because the plates from which they were made were destroyed.
4, Christie’s is a prominent international auction house. According to its
website, it is offering my Warhol Prints for sale at auction on October 26, 2011 at 2:00 PM
at its facility at 20 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, New York. (A copy of the description of
the Warhol Prints and the scheduled sale as downloaded from the Christie’s website,
www.christies.com, is annexed hereto as Exhibit A.)'
1
T also own several prints by Takashi Murakami, I believe that two
Murakami prints being offered for sale by Christie’s as part of this same auction (Lot
295, entitled “And then, and then and then and then and then/Gargle Glop” and Lot
296, entitled “And then, and then and then and then and then/Cream”) belong to me. I
2
5. As is explained in my verified complaint, a copy of which is annexed hereto
as Exhibit B, Christie’s has no right to sell the Warhol Prints. Ihave therefore commenced
this action to recover possession of the Warhol Prints from Christie’s.
6. Several years ago, my then-husband, Leigh Crawford, and I purchased the
Warhol Prints from Hamilton-Selway Fine Art, an art gallery in West Hollywood,
California, for a total purchase price of $67,000, plus tax, Copies of the bills of sale and
certificates of authenticity relating to the Warhol Prints are annexed hereto as Exhibit CQ
A photograph of the four Warhol Prints on the wall of my house is annexed hereto as
Exhibit D.
7. In November 2010, in preparation for moving to New York City so that my
daughter could appear in a Broadway musical, I stored my possessions, including the
Warhol Prints and other works of fine art, at Extra Space Storage, a self-storage facility in
North Hollywood, California.
8, In May 2011, without any notice to me, the owner of the self-storage facility
wrongfully removed my possessions, including the Warhol Prints and other worksof fine
art, from the self-storage unit which I had rented,
9, Some of my possessions were purportedly sold at action by the self-storage
never consented to the sale of my Murakami prints by Christie's. However, ! will need
to take discovery from Christie's in order to learn whether these two pieces were
consigned to it by the same individual who consigned the Warhol Prints,
3
facility. However, I have spoken to the person who purchased the contents of my self-
storage unit at the auction and he denied that he had purchased the Warhol Prints or that
any other works of fine art came into his possession as a result of the auction. (This person
was very leery of speaking to me. He was willing to give me his first name, Daniel, but
refused to give me his lastname.)
10. At the present time, I do not know how the Warhol Prints came into the
possession of Christie’s to be consigned for sale. I do know that they came into Christie’s
possession without my permission and that I never authorized Christie's to list them for
sale,
11. Tam advised by counsel that the suspicious circumstances surrounding their
removal from the self-storage facility mean that the unknown person who consigned the
Warhol Prints to Christie's was not a bona fide purchaser and has no legal right, title or
interest in the Warhol Prints or any other of my works of fine art.
12. Therefore, I remain the legal and rightful owner of the Warhol Prints and
Christie’s has no legal right to sell them.
13. The granting of the injunctive relief soughtby this motion would preserve
the status quo during the course of this lawsuit.

(FILED: NEW YORK COUNTY CLERK 1271972011) INDEX NO. 111928/2011 NYSCEF DOC. NO. 13 RECEIVED NYSCEF: 12/19/2011 SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK COUNTY OF NEW YORK cone nm ni teen mee mite te X Index No. 111928/11 ANNEMERIE DONOGHUE, AFFIRMATION OF ADAM H. Plaintiff, RUSS IN SUPPORT OF DEFENDANT CASTELLANOS’ -against- MOTION TO DISMISS AMENDED VERIFIED COMPLAINT CHRISTIE’S INC. and HENRY CASTELLANOS, Assigned Judge: Defendants. Anil C. Singh, JSC IAS Part 61 nenen enn, KX ADAM EL. RUSS, an attorney duly admitted to practice law in the State of New York, affirms the following under the penalty of perjury: 1 Tam a member of the law firm of Wasser & Russ, LLP, attorneys for defendant Henry Castellanos and the stakeholder, Christies Inc. I make this affirmation based on my personal knowledge, my involvement in this case, and the records maintained by my firm in the ordinary course of business. 2. On or about October 20, 2011, Plaintiff filed this action, naming Christie’s as the sole defendant, and asking that the Court: (i) enjoin Christie’s from auctioning the Warhol Prints; (ii) declare Plaintiff the true owner of the Warhol Prints; and (iii) order Christie’s either to deliver the Warhol Prints to Plaintiff or, if Christie’s was not in possession of the Warhol Prints, pay Plaintiff the value of the Warhol Prints. The Court granted, at Plaintiff's request, a temporary restraining order (“TRO”) enjoining the sale of the Warhol Prints pending a hearing on Plaintiff's request for a preliminary injunction (“PI”) and required that Plaintiff post a $200,000 bond no later than November 4, 2011. A true and correct copy of the Plaintiff's Page 1 of 4 original Verified Complaint, as well as its Order to Show Cause seeking a TRO and PI and Supporting Affidavits and Memorandum are attached hereto as Exhibit A. 3 On or about October 25, 2011, Plaintiff, Christie’s and Mr. Castellanos entered into the Stipulation pursuant to which, among other things: (i) the TRO was vacated and Plaintiff's motion for a PI was withdrawn; (ii) the parties authorized Christie’s to proceed with the scheduled auction of the Warhol Prints; (iii) Plaintiff fully released Christie’s from any and all claims relating to the Warhol Prints; (iv) Plaintiff convenanted to bring no action or proceeding against Christie’s or any of its purchasers relating to the Warhol Prints: (v) Plaintiff remained free to bring an action “against Catellano [sic] for the net proceeds from the sale of the Warhol Prints”; and (vi) Christie’s agreed to retain the net proceeds from the sale of the Wathol Prints ($220,607.50) as stakeholder for the benefit of Plaintiff or Mr. Castellanos, pending the determination of their title dispute in this action. A true and correct copy of the Parties’ October 25, 2011 Stipulation is attached hereto as Exhibit B. 4. On or about November 9, 2011 Plaintiff filed her Supplemental Summons and Amended Verified Complaint seeking judgment: (i) declaring that she is the owner of the Warhol Prints and is entitled to have the net proceeds paid to her; (ii) declaring that Castellanos has no ownership interest in the Warhol Prints; and (iii) directing Christie’s to pay the net sales proceeds to Plaintiff. A true and correct copy of Plaintiff's Supplemental Summons and Amended Verified Complaint are attached hereto as Exhibit C. 5 Attached as Exhibit D hereto is a true and correct copy of the California Business and Professions Code, Division 8 (Special Business Regulations), Chapter 10 (California Self. Service Storage Facility Act or “CSFA”), Secs, 21701 et seq. Page 2 of 4 6. Section 21702 of the CSFA imposes a lien in favor of the owners of self-storage facilities upon all personal property located at the facility, for rent, labor, late payment fees, or other charges incurred pursuant to rental agreements for the storage of property at the facility, as well as for expenses necessary for, among other things, the sale of the property to enforce the lien. 7. Section 21703 of the CSFA provides that the storage facility owner may terminate the rights of an occupant (defined as one who stores personal property at the storage facility) to use or enter the storage space rented if any part of the rent or other charges due from the occupant remain unpaid for 14 days. The owner terminates the occupant’s right to use or enter the rented space by mailing a preliminary notice to the occupant in the manner set forth by the statute, setting forth the termination date (i,¢., a date at least 14 days after the date the notice was mailed, when the occupant’s rights to use or enter the rented space will terminate if full payment of the amount due has not been received), 8 Section 21705 of the CSFA provides that if the notice has been sent as required by Section 21703 and the amount due has not been paid within 14 days of the termination date specified, the lien imposed by the statute attaches and the storage facility owner may, among other things, send the occupant a ‘notice of lien sale’ stating, among other things, that (i) the occupant’s stored property will be sold to satisfy the lien after a specified date, at least 14 days from the date the notice of lien is mailed, unless the occupant executes and returns by certified mail a declaration in opposition to the lien sale in the form prescribed by the statute, and (ii) the occupant may regain full use of the storage space by paying the full amount due prior to the date specified in accordance with (i), above. Page 3 of4 9. Section 21706 of the CSFA provides that if a declaration in opposition, conforming to all of the requirements of the statute, is not received by the owner of the storage facility from the occupant on or prior to the date specified in the notice of lien sale, the owner may sell the property in a commercially reasonable manner after advertising the property’s sale in conformity with the statute’s requirements, and may satisfy the lien in such fashion. 10. Most important, Section 2171 Lof the CSFA states in its entirety as follows : A purchaser in good faith of goods sold to enforce a lien or a judgment entered on the lien in favor of the owner [of the storage facility] on goods stored at a self- storage facility takes the goods free of any rights of persons against whom the lien was claimed, despite noncompliance by the owner of the storage facility with the requirements of this chapter. il. Based upon this statute, it is evident that Mr. Dinael Rivas, who purchased the Warhol Prints at an auction held by Extra Space Storage facility, in accordance with the provisions of the CSFA, passed true and good title to the Warhol Prints to Henry Castellanos, who purchased them from Mr. Rivas in late May or early June of 2011 for the sum of $1000.00, 12, No prior application for the relief requested herein has been made. WHEREFORE, it is respectfully requested that the Court grant defendant Castellanos’ motion to dismiss this action in its entirety with prejudice and direct Christie’s, as stakeholder, to remit to Mr. Castellanos the proceeds from the sale of the Warhol Prints no later than 90 days after the date of the Court’s order, in accordance with the Stipulation.

I submit this affidavit in support ofmy motion fora court order prohibiting defendant Christie's Inc, (“Christie’s”) from removing from the state, transferring, selling, pledging, assigning or otherwise disposing of four prints by the internationally recognized artist Andy Warhol (“Warhol Prints”) which! own, 2 The Warhol Prints are a set based upon Sandro Botticelli’s “Birth of Venus.” They are as follows: {a) A Warhol print entitled “Details of Renaissance Paintings (Sandro Botticelli),” signed in pencil by the artist and numbered “TP 10/36.” This indicates that this piece was a trial proof. (b) A Warhol print entitled “Details of Renaissance Paintings (Sandro Botticelli),” signed in pencil by the artist and numbered “AP 3/18.” This indicates that this piece was an artist's proof, (c) A Warhol print entitled “Details of Renaissance Paintings (Sandro Botticelli),” signed in pencil by the artistand numbered 30/70, This indicates that this piece was number 30 of an edition of 70, (d) A Warhol print entitled “Details of Renaissance Paintings (Sandro Botticelli),” signed in pencil by the artist and numbered 30/70. This indicates that this piece was number 36 of an edition of 70, 3 The Warhol Prints are unique because they (a) are original art works by an internationally recognized artist, (b) are limited in number and (c) cannot be reproduced because the plates from which they were made were destroyed. 4, Christie’s is a prominent international auction house. According to its website, it is offering my Warhol Prints for sale at auction on October 26, 2011 at 2:00 PM at its facility at 20 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, New York. (A copy of the description of the Warhol Prints and the scheduled sale as downloaded from the Christie’s website, www.christies.com, is annexed hereto as Exhibit A.)' 1 T also own several prints by Takashi Murakami, I believe that two Murakami prints being offered for sale by Christie’s as part of this same auction (Lot 295, entitled “And then, and then and then and then and then/Gargle Glop” and Lot 296, entitled “And then, and then and then and then and then/Cream”) belong to me. I 2 5. As is explained in my verified complaint, a copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit B, Christie’s has no right to sell the Warhol Prints. Ihave therefore commenced this action to recover possession of the Warhol Prints from Christie’s. 6. Several years ago, my then-husband, Leigh Crawford, and I purchased the Warhol Prints from Hamilton-Selway Fine Art, an art gallery in West Hollywood, California, for a total purchase price of $67,000, plus tax, Copies of the bills of sale and certificates of authenticity relating to the Warhol Prints are annexed hereto as Exhibit CQ A photograph of the four Warhol Prints on the wall of my house is annexed hereto as Exhibit D. 7. In November 2010, in preparation for moving to New York City so that my daughter could appear in a Broadway musical, I stored my possessions, including the Warhol Prints and other works of fine art, at Extra Space Storage, a self-storage facility in North Hollywood, California. 8, In May 2011, without any notice to me, the owner of the self-storage facility wrongfully removed my possessions, including the Warhol Prints and other worksof fine art, from the self-storage unit which I had rented, 9, Some of my possessions were purportedly sold at action by the self-storage never consented to the sale of my Murakami prints by Christie's. However, ! will need to take discovery from Christie's in order to learn whether these two pieces were consigned to it by the same individual who consigned the Warhol Prints, 3 facility. However, I have spoken to the person who purchased the contents of my self- storage unit at the auction and he denied that he had purchased the Warhol Prints or that any other works of fine art came into his possession as a result of the auction. (This person was very leery of speaking to me. He was willing to give me his first name, Daniel, but refused to give me his lastname.) 10. At the present time, I do not know how the Warhol Prints came into the possession of Christie’s to be consigned for sale. I do know that they came into Christie’s possession without my permission and that I never authorized Christie's to list them for sale, 11. Tam advised by counsel that the suspicious circumstances surrounding their removal from the self-storage facility mean that the unknown person who consigned the Warhol Prints to Christie's was not a bona fide purchaser and has no legal right, title or interest in the Warhol Prints or any other of my works of fine art. 12. Therefore, I remain the legal and rightful owner of the Warhol Prints and Christie’s has no legal right to sell them. 13. The granting of the injunctive relief soughtby this motion would preserve the status quo during the course of this lawsuit.
