NU Online News Service, May, 13, 4:21 p.m. EDT--A spokesperson for Maurice Greenberg, the ousted boss of American International Group, said movers yesterday finished retrieving a number of personal effects his company had been keeping from him.
"We received most of Mr. Greenberg's belongings. We are still awaiting his personal art collection," said Howard Opinsky.
The art in question involves items owned by CV Starr, an insurance underwriter, and Starr International Co., two firms with links to AIG which are controlled by Mr. Greenberg.
Mr. Opinsky said the disputed material at AIG's Pine Street location in New York includes an oil painting by the impressionist master Vincent Van Gogh.
