Socialite and businesswoman Kim Kardashian has been sued by the heirs of American artist Donald Judd. They allege that the television celebrity said that she had an original table by the artist, but it seems that is not the case.
In 2022, Kardashian shared a video where she tours her offices in Los Angeles, California. The video helped many get to know the operations center of her brand, but it also helped her show off her decoration.
As is common for Kim, the decoration of the place is minimalist in style and among the elements he named in the video were some tables and chairs, which he claimed were originals from Judd.
However, his heirs say that the tables are imitations. ‘TMZ’ accessed legal documents in the case, so it is known that the plaintiffs say that Kardashian bought the table and chair set from Clements Design, who have also been included in the lawsuit.
According to ‘The Sun’, the Clements Design team was surprised to receive the demand. They say that at the time, when Kim claimed that the furniture was the artist’s, they contacted the Judd Foundation to explain that the tables and chairs had key differences and were not a replica of the originals.
They thought that with that clarification everything had been solved, but that was not the case. “Efforts were made to resolve this matter amicably at the time and the Judd Foundation was not willing to reach an agreement on reasonable terms. These claims have no basis,” the company said.
Among the requests from Judd’s estate is that Kim delete the video of the tour, so that wrong information does not continue to be spread. The video is currently not available on YouTube, so it seems Kardashian agreed and doesn’t want to make the whole case bigger.
It should be noted that Donald Clarence (1928-1994) was an important American artist associated with the minimalist movement, a style that Kardashian defends and uses in her different properties.
