This page hosts court records filed in "In re Application of Yves Bouvier," a discovery request brought under 28 U.S.C. §1782 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
The filing relates to litigation in Hong Kong involving a dispute over 91 artworks that Bouvier says are worth roughly $100 million.
The documents include a sworn declaration from Swiss art dealer Yves Bouvier and exhibits containing the transcript of testimony given by art-world intermediary Jean-Marc Peretti to Swiss prosecutors in Geneva on December 1, 2022.
Peretti was questioned during a Swiss criminal investigation connected to Russian billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev’s long-running dispute with Bouvier.
The exhibits also include portions of the testimony describing Peretti’s role in negotiating the 2013 private sale of Leonardo da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi on behalf of Bouvier.
