New suit in pop-art family feud
The son of psychedelic painter Peter Max has sued his sister for control of their dad’s art company, the latest turn in the years of litigation between the pair.
Adam Max, 56, accuses Libra Max, 54, of ousting him from their father’s company, ALP, in a “hostile takeover” and installing herself as its president in 2019, according to a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit filed Monday.
Adam now says his sister is ignoring his calls ahead of holding a special shareholder meeting at ALP.
The company was started by their pop-artist dad, 83, who has been diagnosed with dementia, Adam told The Post.
ALP has three shareholders, with Adam and Libra each holding 40 percent and their dad — represented by a guardian — with a 20 percent.
Libra’s lawyer, Jeffrey Eilender, said of the new claims, “It’s time for Adam to stop with the lawsuits and make peace with his sister.”
