Robert De Niro Testifies at Art Trial
According to this article, the famous actor testified in a case against gallery director Leigh Morse, who is accused of involvement in swiping two of De Niro's father's paintings to pay off creditors.
De Niro said he'd wanted their financial dealings to be "kosher."
However, when De Niro tried to continue his testimony, he was cut off by a sustained objection.
According to the article, De Niro so reveres his father that he still keeps the Figurative Expressionist painter's SoHo studio intact, just as it was on the day he died in 1993: paintbrushes in jars, tubes of dried oil paint - even the last newspapers he read.
