Danh Vo, Isabella Bortolozzi, and Bert Kreuk reach settlement in long-running breach-of-contract lawsuit

A two-year legal conflict involving artist Danh Vo, gallerist Isabella Bortolozzi, and collector Bert Kreuk has concluded with a settlement. All parties have agreed to withdraw claims stemming from Kreuk's 2013 breach-of-contract lawsuit, though specific settlement terms remain undisclosed. The dispute originated from Vo's alleged failure to deliver a promised large-scale installation for the exhibition Transforming the Known at The Hague's Gemeentemuseum. Kreuk contended that during a museum tour, Vo and Bortolozzi committed to creating a new major work for a gallery in the show but ultimately supplied only a cardboard whiskey box piece. The lawsuit prompted multiple court orders, appeals, and public letters before resolution. The exhibition featured Kreuk's collection at the Gemeentemuseum. The settlement was reported on December 3, 2015.
