The case is between Rita Clark and the estate of Catalina Meyer over a painting that Clark entrusted to Meyer for display. The painting was destroyed in a fire, and Clark seeks to recover $200,000 from Meyer's estate. Clark claims Meyer breached an agreement to keep the painting insured. Defendants argue damages should be capped at $8,000 due to a lack of evidence supporting a higher valuation. The admissibility of evidence concerning discussions between Clark and Meyer regarding the insurance of the painting is disputed, and the New York dead man's statute may bar Clark's testimony.
