ART

Sly Sues: Sylvester Stallone has sued an art broker for $5 million, claiming she led him to pay millions of dollars more than he should have for several artworks. The fraud and breach-of-contract suit, filed Tuesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, charges that New York-based art consultant Barbara Guggenheim persuaded Stallone to pay $1.8 million for a painting she told him was an excellent investment. After buying it sight unseen, the star of the “Rocky” and “Rambo” movies said he discovered that it was damaged, 25% to 30% of it had been restored or retouched and that its previous owner had tried for some time to sell it. The suit also charges that Stallone believes he paid too much for several other works bought through Guggenheim.
