Lisa Schiff
Lisa Schiff is a formerly high-profile art advisor (clients included Leonardo Dicaprio) now facing claims of fraud, having been sued by Candace Carmel Barasch and Richard Grossman for allegedly withholding $1.8 million from the sale of an Adrian Ghenie painting. Barasch also alleged she gave Schiff $2.5 million for artwork acquisitions that never materialized. Schiff has also since been sued by American Express, which alleged it is owed more than $500,000 by the advisor. In 2023, Schiff closed her art advisory and appointed a trustee to liquidate Schiff Fine Art to repay dozens of art collectors and institutions that acted as creditors.
