Art + Auction magazine was blamed in a lawsuit for shattering a 2,630-year-old Nigerian terracotta sculpture beyond repair during a photo shoot last May at a Manhattan collector’s residence.

The shoot was in the Tribeca home of Corice Arman, the widow of the French-born artist Arman, who died in 2005.
