This article is for subscribers only.
Melvyn Weiss, the millionaire class-action attorney who was felled by illegal kickbacks, is selling more than 140 lithographs, etchings and other works of art by Pablo Picasso.
Weiss and his wife, Barbara, have pledged the artwork to the financial services unit of New York-based Sotheby’s, according to a Sept. 23 New York state regulatory filing. Barbara Weiss, in an interview last week, said the couple planned to put the art up for auction. She declined to comment further.
