PRESS RELEASE FROM
THOMAS MCKNIGHT

New York, NY (November 3, 2005) - Thomas F. McKnight, LLC of Litchfield, CT has announced that on November 1, 2005 the Appellate Division, First Department, State of New York unanimously affirmed and upheld the unanimous jury verdict that had been rendered in Mr. McKnight’s favor on February 4, 2004 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York in connection with a lawsuit brought against renowned artist Thomas McKnight (for an alleged breach of an artist-publisher agreement) by Mr. McKnight’s former publisher, Chalk & Vermilion of Greenwich, CT, the parent company of Martin Lawrence Galleries, owned and operated by David Rogath of Greenwich, CT.

Chalk & Vermilion had, until December 31, 2003, exclusively published Mr. McKnight’s limited edition prints for the preceding twenty (20) years. According to Mr. McKnight, the lawsuit primarily concerned Chalk & Vermilion’s contention, rejected by the jury in its unanimous verdict, that he had failed to make available to Chalk & Vermilion a sufficient number of paintings during the contract term “suitable” for reproduction as limited edition prints. According to Mr. McKnight, the parties disputed the meaning of the term “suitable,” and the jury concluded that the contract did not restrict Mr. McKnight’s style of artistic impression. In affirming the jury verdict, the appellate court determined that the trial evidence, fairly considered, permitted the jury to conclude that Mr. McKnight had met his contractual obligations to Chalk & Vermilion.
