Hand-in-hand with the recent news that Russo and Steele has secured a new and improved permanent location for their January Scottsdale auction comes word from the auction company that litigation resulting from the windstorms that initially inspired the move (still with me?) has collapsed. Okay, poor choice of words, but as of October 27, all claims that were initially made against Russo and Steele “have either been dismissed or dropped completely.”

That should allow them to go ahead this winter with a clean slate, although they are still involved in litigation with their former tent company. We’re looking forward to being there at the auction.
