Miami Beach industrialist Victor Posner agreed to return 13 Norman Rockwell paintings that he took from Sharon Steel Corp. after buying the company in 1969. The announcement in U.S. Bankruptcy Court by Robert Cindrich, a Posner attorney, was the company chairman’s first response to a lawsuit filed over the paintings. The paintings depicting scenes from Sharon’s plant in Farrell, Pa., have hung in Posner’s Florida office for nearly 20 years. James W. Toren, a trustee appointed by the court to run Sharon Steel during its Chapter 11 reorganization, sued for the returned of the art. Cindrich said Posner does not have a 14th painting mentioned in Toren’s lawsuit.
