The owner of the painting is a former corrections officer who
alleges that in 1975 he purchased the painting from Doig, who was
incarcerated at a Canadian detention facility at that time.
Doig denies having ever been near the detention facility, or ever
being incarcerated. The lawsuit is currently pending in the U.S.
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
