Contenental Airlines Breaks famous Artist’s Work to be exhibited in Art Miami/Basel Art fair

I was hoping that you could cover this story.

My sculpture arrived from Italy to the Miami Airport on Continental airlines last week. The shipment originated in New York 2 years ago and has been prominently exhibited in 3 continents. It was shipped to Miami from Florence, Italy, and was intended to go on display prominently at the Art Miami Fair this week. It is a monumental 12 foot sculpture that has won awards in 3 continents and was very valuable. It arrived smashed into more than 100 pieces. The crate was also smashed. Unfortunately, I had it insured for only 1/3rd of what it was worth. Mr. Malinowski feels that there was gross negligence on the part of Continental airlines and that the piece had to have been dropped 12 feet off the plane to be in the condition that it was found in. I was wondering if a folk-lift truck rammed into it. He is available to speak with you about this as is David Jones Fine art movers who met the crate at the Miami airport. I am in Miami this week for the fair and am available to speak with you also. cell: 917-807-3385

Attached are pictures of the crate and sculpture when it arrived in Miami. It is now at David Jones Fine Art shippers. They picked the crate up in Miami and brought it to their warehouse in Boca Raton. There is also a picture of the piece while on display in Beijing after winning 1st prize in the Beijing Biennale this past summer. That story was picked up by the New York Times.

Thank you,
