520 _aA High Court ruling has defended the conventions of attribution for paintings in a case between a disgruntled customer and Mayfair art dealers Agnew's. While the judge agreed that the painting sold to Mr Drake was not by Van Dyck, he dismissed Mr Drake's claim for a £1.5m refund because Agnew's had only expressed an opinion that it was, and Mr Drake had instead been misled by art agent Steven Callam.
