Malcolm has represented major artists, dealers, and purchasers in all types of art transactions involving tens of millions of dollars. He has also represented a world renowned artist against a dealer who breached his fiduciary duty to the artist. Ultimately, the dealer was compelled to return over 65 artworks originally consigned to that dealer. This matter went to trial before the Honorable Jed S. Rakoff, in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York.
Malcolm represented a purchaser of an old master painting, against a third party who claimed that he had obtained title to the artwork resulting from a bankruptcy proceeding. This case was heard in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York and resulted in a very significant decision dealing with the issue of “laches.” That decision was affirmed in all aspects by the Federal Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
Malcolm has lectured in the area of Art transactions both for CLE courses and in art museums.
