Did Art Dealer Mark Zaplan Really Cheat Nuns out of 1.75M on Painting he bought and Resold?
The case is in the court now, but the Nuns of the Daughters of Mary Mother of Our Savior, outside Albany believe art dealer Mark Zaplin knew the painting he purchased for $450,000 was worth more than $2Million dollars. The fact that it was appraised by a Zaplin recommended appraiser for $350 -$450,000 suggests that, according to the Nuns lawyer, an alleged conspiracy may have transpired- since Zaplin sold the painting for $2.2 Million. The 1889 painting was a donation to the convent. Wonder if Zaplin believes in Heaven and Hell.
